Hi, I’m Gijs.
I’m a filmmaker and visual maker working at the intersection of concept and craft. My projects move between fiction, music videos, installations, campaigns and live experiences, often combining technical experimentation with a character-driven approach and a sense of play.
I enjoy building things from scratch. Turning a space into a set, shaping the overall world around an idea, or developing custom workflows where necessary. I’m interested in the structures behind everyday situations, but I approach them with a certain lightness. Even when the subject carries weight, subtle humor or a slightly offbeat tone remain essential to how I tell a story.
Alongside my independent work, I’m co-founder of Hotel Rio, a creative studio working across audiovisual entertainment and live performance with a broader public reach.
