Michiel's love for film started when he saw The Neverending Story on videotape. An addiction was born. He grew up in front of television and behind a broad taste in film. With his fascination for 'the weird and the beautiful' he decided to make films himself. He writes and records his own work under the name Red Cloak Films and with a preference for the three f's (folklore, fantasy and fairy tales). Michiel also directs commissioned commercial work, video clips and documentaries. In short, his work is often either very realistic or very fictional. In his spare time, Michiel still watches a lot of films, likes to write screenplays and reads a lot about the attractive times. Out loud.
