about

Bas Berkhout is a filmmaker who has a reputation for creating visually stunning and emotionally impactful films. Originating from the Netherlands, Bas has traveled the world to capture stories that inspire and challenge his audience.

Bas's approach to film making is rooted in his deep curiosity about the human experience. He believes that everyone has a story worth telling, and he seeks out those stories with a sense of empathy, compassion and optimism that shines through in his work.

Whether he's documenting the lives of artists, exploring the world of innovation, or capturing the beauty of the natural world, Bas brings a unique perspective to every project he takes on with his own one-stop-shop production company. His films have been screened at festivals around the world, and he has won numerous awards for his work.

In addition to his film-making, Bas is also a passionate advocate for environmental conservation and social justice. He uses his platform as a filmmaker to amplify the voices of those who are often marginalized.

Recently, he refurbished an old propane filling station located on a river island Upstate New York, where he currently resides with his wife Hanne and three children. The building serves as both child care center and a co-working area. Along with his love for vintage Japanese motorcycles, he also has an affinity for hagelslag.
