Director Biography - Laurens Van der Veken

Ever as a child, Laurens was always the storyteller.
Looking for different media to do so, it started with drawing and acting. But after graduating in dramatic arts at high school he soon realised that filmmaking was the ultimate 'gesamtkunst' in which he could combine al his passions to show the actual stories he envisioned.

After film school, he felt he never had the real chance to make that one first signature movie that could test his abilities.

So he started writing, and later on directing, his first short film that now has become Painted.
