FILMAKERS
Fleur van der Minne is a Dutch filmmaker. At the age of 17 she wrote a letter to Hugo van Lawick one of the most prestigious filmmakers of his generation for a job. She was politely declined! This didn’t diminish her determination and just a few years later she was taken under his wing and went to join him in Tanzania as his understudy. She then went to the USA to study directing at the New York Film Academy. She is currently working on various film projects and is based in Amsterdam.
