Born in 1989 in Belgium. He graduated from the KASK School of Arts in Ghent after which he obtained a master's degree in Film Studies and Visual Culture at the University of Antwerp. The world of young people and their relationships with the people around them form a common thread in his work. His first short film, Kiss me Softly, was a true festival favourite. His debut film, Young Hearts, premiered at the Berlinale Generation Kplus. ‘’I hope people will see it as just a love story, a story about falling in love for the first time. About daring to follow your heart and jumping in the deep end. It’s about those overwhelming and scary feelings everyone has known.’’
- Anthony Schatteman
