UHHH ABOUT ME...
Hi, I’m Nando, a filmmaker specializing in cinematography, editing, and journalism. Since graduating from the Willem de Kooning Academy in 2022, I’ve been dedicated to creating work that often blends authentic storytelling with a hint of social satire. My projects mostly focus on documentaries, portraits, and promo videos.
I’m very inspired by ambitious individuals and enjoy exploring their stories and emotions. My goal is to uncover beauty, humor, and complexity of the human experience, showing layers and sparking reflection.
Creativity, attention to detail, and adaptability are my strengths. I thrive in team settings and dynamic environments, always aiming to produce work that’s thought-provoking, relatable, and visually compelling.
