THE COVIDS - 'Banned from the USA'

Rene Nuijens

A Dutch photographer and autodidactic director/filmmaker. Loves to uncover the absurdity of situations who are recognizable for everybody. Known for his photographic eye, subtle storytelling, dry humor and casting… Learned life’s most important lessons while working as a boy in his fathers pet shop. For example, that humor is very much like kitty litter: its best to keep it dry, very dry… His ability to talk and bond with animals laid the groundwork in his development into a true actors director. And while he never liked dog shows, they did give him a taste for winning prizes. In short Rene always shoots towards the stars like his heroes space dog Laika and her wonderfully human counterpart Yuri Gagarin.
