Fokke (Fow-kah) has been directing all his life. As a young boy he directed Matchbox cars, dinosaur toys and Batman action figures. ​Today Fokke directs short fiction films, documentaries in long and short form, human interest and branded content. His films have garnered multiple awards at film festivals around the world. Authentic storytelling and esthetic cinematography are key elements in his work.

Fokke studied Art and Technology in Enschede (The Netherlands) and filmmaking at the New York Film Academy in New York (USA).
He divides his time between directing, shooting and producing content for his own production company and acting.

He has made video content for major brands such as Disney, Microsoft, TomTom, LG, Wickey, AS Watson, NPO, Spinnin’ Records, AA Drink, Vacansoleil, Saur and Homey.

Aside from working behind the camera, Fokke finds himself on the stage from time to time. He played the lead in Cirque de la Faim (2014, directed by Jeroen Kriek), a massive hit at the Oerol Festival, one of the most exceptional landscape arts festivals in Europe. Fokke made his film acting debut in Los (2023, directed by Karlijn Koel). In 2024 Fokke goes on a Dutch national tour with the stage play Spaghettirellen (directed by Jolmer Versteeg).

Fokke is an avid physical media collector, owning over 3000 films (and counting) on dvd, blu ray and 4K discs. His other hobbies are going to the movies (obviously), indoor football, Padel and he hardly ever misses a match from his favorite football team FC Twente.
