A versatile film maker, director and writer. Wiek Lenssen is someone who knows how to change an idea into a creation. He always strives to allow his creations to live their own life.
Every project starts with an idea. The idea is the gleaming nucleus which potential possibilities sprout and crystallise when nurtured with proper care. This happens automatically when there is enough inspiration, love and motivation for the subject inside the creator’s soul. The idea becomes embodied into a new reality when it is executed in a caring way and receives a soul of its own.
In this presentation you will find a description of projects executed by Wiek Lenssen that have crystallized into film projects, photo exhibitions and books. Most projects appeal to a broad audience, stretching beyond the own national borders. Some have won awards.
