Hi! I’m Marit. A film director based in Amsterdam.
I create documentaries, fiction films, and music videos with visuals and storytelling tailored to each project’s unique needs.
My strength lies in listening deeply, finding the heart of every story, and translating it into a powerful creative vision. I believe in storytelling’s ability to inspire change and work toward a more sustainable and inclusive world. That’s why I love partnering with sustainable brands, humanitarian organizations, and charities to bring their stories to life.
I hold a BA in Film Directing (graduated with Honours) from the University of the Arts Utrecht and a Master’s in Arts & Society from Utrecht University, where I also explored Postcolonial & Gender Studies and studied at ELTE University in Budapest. I combine my research skills with a strong creative sensibility to craft impactful, meaningful narratives.
Based in Amsterdam, I work both locally and internationally, with experience in London, Budapest, Lisbon, and Berlin, as well as directing remote projects worldwide.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful, internationally minded collaborator for your next project, let’s connect!
Testimonials
“Marit is an awesome director to work with. I have worked with her as both an actress and as a client for my music video. She provides trust, takes individual ideas and bring them together into a very concise and beautiful story. She makes concrete plans, takes the lead and gives clear instructions, but also listens and thinks along very well, without losing her own style.”
