About Twan
I feel films have the power to inspire people, empower them and plant seeds for a more compassionate world. Filmmaking is so powerful, and I’m always looking for stories that allow me to create this world that deeply connects with you as a human being.
Alongside my work as a filmmaker I play the piano, participate in activism, shoot & develop analog film and I am part of Wake Up London – a meditation community that focusses on teaching people how to take care of themselves so they can take care of the world. I am a calm person and good listener. Feel don’t hesitate to reach out, so we can have a coffee!
