MARIT
WEERHEIJM

About

Amsterdam based Marit loves to peer into the heart of human connection, her films are like the intricate brushstrokes of an artist, painting the unspoken language that speaks volumes  — conjuring tales where what's left unsaid often carries the most weight.

Her determination for capturing the utmost authenticity had led her down rabbit warrens of study groups and intense research to ensure she is able to comprehensively represent her characters and their struggles like a master craftsman. Her fascination with the dance of human relationships, especially the family dynamic, adds layers of depth to her work. 

Marit lives and breathes to create and tell stories to anyone lucky enough to listen.
