Joost van Hezik (1982) graduated in 2010 as a director from the Amsterdam Theatre School. While working as a repertoire theatre director, he decided to further school himself in the art of cinema. He made his first steps in film directing with the absurd and surreal drama series TreurTeeVee (WeepTeeVee). In 2017 he directed the short film The Funeral of The Shy and has now moved his focus completely to film. Joost: "Directing actors in the theatre definitely was my first love, but when I learned what the camera can add to a story and a performance, I lost my heart to film forever." Hide
