Sander de Nooij
Founder, director & DOP
Stories of real people, in real situations.
Since 2007 I have filmed people in real-life situations all over the world, especially in the Global South, for NGOs, broadcasters and brands. Giving a voice to the ones that might otherwise go unheard.
With nearly 20 years of directing and shooting documentary, branded and campaign work, I’m specialised in small-crew productions. I’m taking on freelance jobs, solo or with a crew, from a single shoot day to a full production.
01
Director
A director who can also shoot and cut: the vision stays intact from the first interview to the final edit.
02
DOP & self-shooting director
A DOP who thinks like a director: used to working without one on set, keeping both the image and the story on track.
03
Full production
The whole film, from concept to delivery: a small, trusted crew and one person accountable for every step.
