Harald Swinkels is a passionate writer-director who has taken a rather unusual path for most filmmakers (see “Jongensdroom”) to do what he has always wanted to do: make touchingly beautiful movies. Although Harald gives his all in everything he does, he lives by the motto “don’t take yourself too seriously” – a saying that also plays a role in the FLUID script. One of Harald’s other life philosophies is that the purpose of life is to fight maturity and always remain playful. Therefore, Harald is often childlike in his enthusiasm. He is deeply interested in history and art, film, the human brain and technological developments. He reads a lot, and watches lots of movies and is furthermore blessed with a particularly strong memory.
