'Telling stories, preferably in a comical way'. Jan Boon was educated at no less than two renowned filmschools in Belgium, which says everything about the involved filmmaker he is. He just didn't finish the 'Rits' in Brussels; it was too rigid and artistic to him. His change to 'Narafi' was a big relieve to him. That was where he could experiment and he got the technical tools to make whatever he wanted. Very soon he worked as an independent director, d.o.p and editor. Coming from a writersfamily he writes his own theaterpieces and moviescripts. His father learned him to see things with a filmic look. Jan: 'it's the most fun telling stories, preferably in a comical way'. He's known for his humorous commercials which are filmed in a documentary style: camerawork from a third parties point of view, observing. Actors interact with the camera. This causes humor in a unique way.
