ANDRÉ MAAT
André surely knows how to make films that stand out from the crowd. He studied advertising at the Art Academy in Berlin and now lives in Amsterdam. From directing clever clever music videos with flipbooks and splitscreens he set out to shoot an ever-evolving range of commercials. Probably the best word to describe his style is ‘playful‘. No wait, it’s ‘quirky‘. No No No. It’s ‘imaginative‘!
Whatever word you like best, it should describe how he blends a fine sense for tongue-in-cheek humor with visual trickery and colorful art direction. When he’s not shooting commercials he likes to surf in the small Dutch waves or make absurd short films about uncanny Christmas trees or crazy instant noodles that have earned him several Vimeo Staff Picks. He has had the pleasure to collaborate with creative agencies such as Heimat, 72Sunny, W+K, RG/B, Jung v. Matt, Tribal DDB and Publicis for happy clients all over the world.
