BIOGRAPHY
Caspar Muller is an award-winning director based out of Amsterdam, The Netherlands. He has a solid background in acting and graduated with a Master's degree in Film Production (Directing) at Arts University Bournemouth (UK).
Caspar is drawn to psychological thriller with a surrealist touch. He creates sensual and sensory cinema, inspired by the likes of Darren Aronofsky, Denis Villeneuve and Claire Denis. His films are rooted in dream logic and reflect the conflicting demands of fear and desire for human connection.
His short film Room 16 won the award for Best International LGBT Short at New Renaissance Film Festival Amsterdam (2020). Room 16 is also an Official Selection at Roze Filmdagen; the Amsterdam LGBTQ Film Festival (2020).
