Ben Lardinois
Ben Lardinois (Director, Designer, Music Producer) is a filmmaker from Limburg. Out of the urge to express our creativity, individuality and a hunger for independence, Ben and his partner Bashar have slowly but surely gotten a design agency off the ground since 2016 with no entrepreneurial experience or active network: jongens en co. Besides small own initiatives and commissioned work they have collaborated on about 5 film productions and fulfilled various roles: Varying from Production(-assistance), to scenario, casting, sound design, graphic design, production design, editing, special effects and co-direction.

Lieke Anna Haertjens
Lieke Anna Haertjens (Photographer, Selfportrait Artist) has been working as a creative for over a decade. In 2011 she graduated from the School of Arts in Tilburg. Afterwards she worked hard at developing a personal style in photography where story, emotion, concept and aesthetics come together in painterly and emotive artworks. In her journey as a creator she does not fear to get personal and vulnerable, in fact, those things are what drives her. Showing vulnerability as a way to portray strength. And shining a light on subjects, we don't like to talk about. To create meaningful conversations. Her thoughts and feelings are the red threat in her work. She makes tangible what isn't, through the art she creates. The photo camera has always been her tool, until now. Until this story. With this story she knew. This has to be a documentary.
