Frederik Stuut

Dutch filmmaker

At 6 years old, while trekking through the Dolomites, Frederik used his father’s mini DV camera to recreate scenes from The Lord of The Rings. The fellowship in his case were his parents, sister and grandfather. Twenty years later, he is still making films. After high school he had a gap year in which he did a course in lighting-assistance at the Dutch Film Academy in Amsterdam. The year after he enrolled at LUCA school of arts in Brussels where he finished his masters in Film. During his time in film school he developed an interest in a hybrid approach to filmmaking. Alternating hyper naturalism with very stylized elements, blending between these worlds.
