Born in De Heurne,

a small village on the Dutch-German border,

He has always been

drawn to the intersections

of culture and storytelling.

After studying in Münster,

he set out to explore the world,

often from the seat of a bicycle,

cycling through vast landscapes

and diverse communities.

His experiences on the road and his keen interest in cultural narratives

have shaped his work as a filmmaker,

where he combines a sharp observational eye with a deep curiosity for the human condition.

With projects spanning documentaries and short films,

Christiaan's work is grounded in real-world experiences and meaningful connections.
