Hi! My name is Merlijn.

I specialize in writing and directing animation for mature audiences. The genres I feel most at home with are dark fantasy and magical realism. The films that I write are often very intimate and personal. I write from my own experiences and like to work with visual metaphors to give a face to emotions that would otherwise remain invisible.

I’m a multi-disciplinary artist, and make music in addition to films. Feel free to reach out to me if you want to collaborate, or if you just want to chat over some coffee ☆
