Guido Ekker is a freelance creative filmmaker who graduated from the Netherlands Film Academy in 2015. Working across roles as Director, Creative Lead, VFX Supervisor, and Artist, he uses this multidisciplinary approach to explore new forms of storytelling while staying closely attuned to the rapidly evolving technical landscape of film and AI.

With over twelve years of industry experience at studios including The Panics, The Mill, Nexus Studios and Buck, Guido brings a strong foundation of creative and technical expertise to every project. He is equally comfortable directing/supervising live-action and fully CG productions, moving seamlessly between commercial work and original content.

His work leans toward a cinematic style, often blending mixed media to create soulful, immersive experiences. Guido is highly hands-on throughout the filmmaking process, frequently engaging in direction, editing, compositing, animation, and other VFX to maintain a cohesive creative vision.

A deep interest in culture and the ways humans shape themselves and their environment lies at the core of his filmmaking. Through his directorial work, Guido aims to tell stories that invite reflection on society and nature—this narrative intention being the driving force behind his work.

Outside the studio, you’ll find him bouldering or, more often, surfing the waves of the North Sea.
