About
Hi, I’m Nando: a filmmaker and a creative, specialising in cinematography, editing and journalism. Since graduating from the Willem de Kooning Academie in 2022 I make work that blends authentic storytelling with a hint of social satire: documentaries, portraits and promo films.
I’m inspired by ambitious people and love exploring their stories and emotions. My goal is to uncover the beauty, humour and complexity of the human experience. Right now I’m a Creative, Video Editor & Media Manager at We Gaan ’T Zien Media in Hilversum, working on De Jeugdzorg Files, De Nieuwkomers and Tarwekamp.
