Stuart Acker Holt is a British born director, editor and photographer and the founder of CRUMB.FILM based in Amsterdam. After studying Music at University of Newcastle upon Tyne, Stuart went on to lecture in Film Music at Chichester University. During this time he created the ‘Expressing Computers’ lecture series with film-makers and composers presenting live audio-visual work. This opened the doors to inspiring partnerships and creative collaborations in photography and film. In 2008 Stuart released Most Interesting Person; a ‘self generative’ story where each subject nominated the next in an ongoing trail of connected interviews. The project took him around the world creating over 200 episodes of the world’s ‘most interesting’ people. This premiered at The Balhaus Ost, Berlin attracting 1,000 visitors over 24 hours. This format was later adapted for commercial commissions by Philips, the Van Gogh Museum, Ableton and ID&T. Other story-telling formats created by Stuart include the ‘I HEART….’ series. I HEART USA documented the 2016 US presidential election, which was screened at the Bicycle Film Festival in NYC and The House of St. Barnabas in Soho, London. The story of Stuart’s father’s escape from NAZI occupied Vienna in I HEART EUROPE. As a second generation survivor, Stuart’s interest in history features regularly and motivated him to write his first book, ‘The Short 6ft Tall Man’. In 2020 he will be releasing his new film For The Record, which has been selected for the Crystal Palace International Film Festival in London, as well as festivals in Berlin and The Hague.

I'm a young motivated journalist with a rich knowledge in Middle East foreign affairs. Passionate storyteller with a talent for delivering attention-grabbing, high-quality news reports and human stories. I want to tell more stories from the inside of Arab communities in the Middle East. My background and language skills open a lot of doors which stay closed for a lot of western journalists. I am fluent in Arabic, Dutch and English. I'm currently working for one of the leading Dutch quality papers called ‘de Volkskrant’. My job is to tell our Dutch readers/viewers about the current situation and the ongoing troubles in the Middle East, framed in a way that it fits the Dutch view. My stories have mainly been exclusive stories about the Syrian conflict, the refugee crisis, the marginalised and minority communities in the Middle East. One of my stories got nominated for 'de Tegel', the most important award for journalism in the Netherlands. This story on human trafficking networks in the Turkish city of Izmir was very important for me to work on. It showed the way traffickers work and gave us insight into the dark-side of these shady networks. I've also published an award-winning story on Syrian refugee child workers in Dutch daily quality newspaper 'de Volkskrant'. The footages I shot and produced were broadcasted by the BBC ten o’clock news. With experience in investigative (video) journalism, my online-media savviness and my passion of telling the stories of the marginalised voices, I am confident I will be an asset to your team and channel.

CERTIFIED FILMMAKER. I have a heterogeneous background: I worked as a teacher (4 yrs), corporate consultant/trainer/coach (14 yrs) and filmmaker. I consider myself a ‘Renaissance Soul’: curious, adventurous and talented in more than one area. I know how to capture a story perfectly because of this combination of skills and experience. I have a ‘Fingerspitzengefühl’ for knowing how to make people feel comfortable on camera and have a 'female gaze' for aesthetics (interesting stories can be beautiful too). I invested in the latest gear that makes 4K quality possible, while the same camera (Panasonic GH4) doesn’t feel too intruding in people’s personal space. I guarantee high quality audio too. I went to film school in The Netherlands. I do all the camera + sound + editing myself.
