Silvain Hooglander
- Director
- Editor
- Producer
Born in Singapore, raised in Holland and Spain. He's quite the
international type. At the age of 11 his parents bought him his first
8mm camera. And like most youthfull filmmakers, he totally devoted
himself into making little horror/action/adventure films. Chartering
anyone who would dare stand in front of the camera and utter a couple
of script driven words, he made loads of gems. Gems we'll never get to
see... what a shame! At the age of 17, he returned to Holland to go to
college. And, by now, still not having lost his interest in film, he
decided to study multimedia, a study not very close to what he really
wanted, but close enough. Here, he developed his skills, perfectioned
his techniques and won many film prizes before graduating. Soon, he
became a co-owner of a production company in Holland for which he
directs films, TV ads and music videos. His shortfilms still keep on
winning prize after prize, proving that he knows how to compell
viewers. Although he enjoys making the things he makes, with great
success, his fingers still itch. They itch for features. Which is
exactly what he's busy with right now. Getting feature films off the
ground, greenlit, made and into the cinemas.
In 1998 he married Micky, who gave birth to his daughter, Mila, in 2004.
