Director Biography - Sander Blom

Sander Blom (1993) studied Communication in Groningen, but quickly got into directing and producing films. Living in a relatively remote part of The Netherlands and disliking the typical Dutch films, he decided to find his own way in the world of film making, independently producing his own films: Limina (2018) and #VaderJacob (2020) to name a few. In 2019, he also debuted with his first published novel (thriller).
