TOM GEENS writer/director

I am an award winning writer/director with over 25 years of experience in independent filmmaking and commercials. I’ve made films from no-budget to big budget, as a one-man band handling most of the processes to leading crews of up to 50-100 people. I know every part of the process inside and out and have collaborated with some of the best professionals in the business. I’ve presented my films at the biggest festivals in the world, from Toronto to London to Karlovy Vary. I’ve worked with some of the most respected funding bodies like the BFI, Film4 and ARTE. Through advertising I also worked with some of the biggest companies in the world, like IKEA, Kellogg’s and Sainsbury’s. My films have been awarded at BAFTA and nominated at BIFA. I’ve done guest lectures at BAFTA, various universities and film schools and have mentored filmmakers through BIFA, Film London and Creative England. I edit a lot of my own work and I cut my own hair.
