Director biography

- Nick Ceulemans

With a Master’s degree in Audiovisual Arts (Film Directing) and several screenwriting workshops, Nick’s drive to tell timely and compelling stories continued to grow.

After his studies, he worked as a location manager and assistant director on a wide range of Flemish film and television sets, as well as on international productions for BBC & HBO.
Today, he works as a director and producer in the corporate world, creating commercials and corporate films.

Alongside this, he develops his own fiction projects as a writer and director.
His short film Stay (2025), produced by Menuetto with the support of the Flanders Audiovisual Fund, was selected for multiple international film festivals and earned several awards.
