JORIS DEBEIJ
FILMMAKER/PHOTOGRAPHER

I'm a filmmaker, photographer and creative director interested in the way people and place shape each other.

Whether it's a short doc, a brand film, or something in between, I aim to tell emotionally honest stories with care, clarity, and a grounded visual approach.

My work has screened at Sundance, SXSW, and Tribeca, and I’ve directed campaigns for brands like Apple, Nike, and JetBlue.

For commercial collaborations, reach out to Rich and Cathleen at Reverie. For all things TV and Film connect with Philip over at Black Bear Pictures.
