CURRICULUM VITAE - HANS LOURENS                 

 

Profile

I am passionate about Films, Filmmakers and an Enthusiastic and Creative Thinker, backed up by experience in Logistics, Project- and Process-management. I believe that people make the success of an organization, and structure gives it a solid foundation to build on. 

After being involved in Theater and Television and Video production in the nineties, I started to get more involved in film festivals in 2010, working for IFFR at the guest/accreditation desk and participating as a professional from 2016 onwards, actively contributing to industry events .

 

Since January 2020 I work for Shortcutz Amsterdam; I have been involved with production, communication, guests, sponsoring and fundraising.  Site: www.shortcutzamsterdam.com.

In 2022 started to work with director Mona Schier on her short documentary and further development and distribution; I developed Production- and Budget plan and Script. We joined IDFA and in 2023 the Berlinale EFM to pitch the project and meet potential investors and partners.  Per October 1st I founded Hans Lourens Film Productions, aka HLFilmProx;  at that time I assisted Director/ writer/ producer Luana Fereira to develop her project till May 2024. Since November 2023  I am the  Producer on the AMSTERTHEM project.
