A Dutch director and photographer. Known for his casting, subtle storytelling and dry humor. Learned life’s most important lessons while working as a boy in his fathers pet shop. For example, that humour is very much like kitty litter: its best to keep it dry, very dry…
His ability to talk and bond with animals laid the groundwork in his devolpment into a true actors director. Rene loves to uncover the absurditity of contemporary situations who are recognisable for everybody. And while he never liked dog shows, they did give him a taste for winning prizes.
