BIOGRAPHIE

Rudi Brekelmans (1977) is a screenwriter turned director. He has written several short films - both live action and animation - of which the short western animation 'Bullet Time' was the Dutch entry for the 2018 Academy Awards. Rudi debuted as a director with 'Medulla' (2018), a dark psychological thriller about a misogynist psychiatrist who treats a female client whose liberated attitude becomes an obsession to him. The film is shot in 4:3 and in black and white. Rudi wrote, directed, produced and edited the film. He built the soundscape of the film purely from the actors voices. Medulla premiered at the Netherlands Film Festival where it was nominated for best directorial debut. Despite the film being released during the Covid pandemic Medulla won several awards and festival selections and nominations. It's especially popular around the independent arthouse film circuit. In February of 2022 Rudi released his second independent film 'Sex Sells'. Switching to a bright colour palette and a scope widescreen aspect ratio the film depicts the struggles of an independent sex worker during Covid times. Again Rudi wrote, directed, produced and edited. Being a musician/composer this time he also wrote, recorded and produced the original soundtrack.
