"The unreal is more powerful than the real. Because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it. Because its only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles. Wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on. If you can change the way people think. The way they see themselves. The way they see the world. You can change the way people live their lives."

— Chuck Palahniuk

Hi there everyone!!

First, I'd like to stress I am quite sorry for having vanished off the site for as long as I have. It seems if I'm not paying attention to the passing of time it gets away from me and before you know it, there's another year that's passed without me taking notice.

That said, I do intend to keep you updated a bit more about what's going on in my life lol
And To be honest, that's not very much at the moment. The crisis seems to be the perfect excuse for production companies to choose cheap and inexperienced people over regular waged professionals. That really is a shame and annoying as hell as me and some other professionals refuse to go below the normal price these days, if only out of principal, and it's costing us jobs :(

As there are and always will be people who do it cheap or for the so often broken promises of being surely involved in the next big budget project the producers do. True, not all are like that, taking you along for a cheat ride and then forgetting all about you, but it's still the big majority ..which is a shame.

But all the whining aside, we've been to Cannes with the crew and cast of Demon Games and Life is an Art and it was AWESOME!!! I also am in the middle of preparing some small projects and even taking on massaging on the sides to fill up what ever time I've got left lol

But First CANNES! The kick-ass Demon Games Team hooked up with the wonderful and awesome Steve De Roover (journalist and fan lol)

Alas, Arne, the director was taking the picture and is therefore lacking.

We had an official screening of both Life is an Art and Damon Games at this years festival and it rocked big time.

Apart from promoting our movies, meeting new people and all that, we had time for posing at red carpets

Meeting up with great old friends

Going to boat parties hosted by Kate Rayn

And general relaxing and chilling

Oh, and of course a red carpet premiere of LIAA!

Happy, we went home.

It was good times indeed.

Other then this I've worked as video assistent on a Dutch Artfilm 'Majesteit'

Unfortunately I don't have any set photos of this as yet, but as soon as I get a hold of them, I'll be sure to share. Here's a sneak peak at one of the night shoots I did find on line though

And again in Holland some of the crew of LIAA came together once more to do a small commercial for a good cause!

That's all from me for the moment ;) I think I've somewhat caught you up and I'll really try not to vanish again... lol

Take care and keep rocking!

I always feel strange having to introduce myself, as I would presume I’m a bit biased, but for you I’ll make an honest attempt at objectivity…

Marie Olaerts (being ‘me’ in the third person) grew up in a small village in a small country with a great liking for action movies, SF and thriller/ suspense, dreaming of how it would be like to be on a set, not visiting, but actually doing something useful. And so, that dream in the back of her mind she ended up at the Rits, a Belgian school for film making, where she graduated in 2007 as a professional bachelor (option camera/ cinematography) with the short film ‘the blessing of Henry Mullin’ as cinematographer.

Ever since then she is working on different sets in different functions, but her true passion lies with cinematography. There is still so much to learn and try, enough to fill a lifetime she is happy to discover, and her vision altered by a film-focussed life and the things she saw; she loves the light that seems just a bit off to add to the scene.

Meeting new people and education opened her horizon to a much greater rage of films, especially the Asian cinema, of which ‘Hero’ is her favourite. Though she hasn’t had the chance to see as much films as she’d like, she’s striving to correct that in the near future.

Movies she holds in high regard are: Hero, Alien, The Crow, Darkness (for the mood of the film), Musa, The game, The usual suspects, Bin Jip, Old Boy …
The documentaries ‘Long Gone’ (http://www.longgonefilm.com/) and ‘Peuple Migrateur’ opened her eyes to the fact that this genre too can be beautiful to make and film-like to watch and Monty Python was like rediscovering the comedy genre all over again.
Nothing beats ‘The Holy Grail’.

Always having lived in the middle of nowhere; contact with nature is a necessity more then anything else and when she’s not on set she likes to roam forests, meet with friends and go to class (she’s been following Aikido since November 2007 and this has become a bit of a passion). Other then that, she likes to make photographs, read, draw and write.

… There’s not much more to say really. Hello world, this is me ;)

Light is only meaningful in relation to darkness and it is the infinite play of these two opposites, where and how they meet and their relation to a certain moment in time that I seek, not to perfect, but to rediscover...
