Brett de Vos

Born and raised in South Africa, Brett is now based between Amsterdam & the UK and works world-wide. Being a true global citizen has given him a unique point of view that is prevalent in all his work.

Beyond all else Brett is interested in making work that positively contributes to society and to individuals. He recognises art & media as the vehicle that steers our culture & social mythologies. Thereby the intention behind his work is always to find a way to help create a more accepting, inclusive and connected world.

Brett’s process is a dance between intuition &structure, meaning & interpretation. This gives him a unique and clear voice that is real and raw, while simultaneously subtlety layered with meaning through subtext and abstraction. Viewers are driven to look inward to fill in the gaps & asses what kind of stories they tell themselves and what their place in the world is.

Brett’s work is immersive - it connects viscerally with audiences, engaging them emotionally and bringing them into the moment, scenario &/or experience.

He easily transverses multiple mediums, weather working with skilled teams on large projects or by himself on more personal, inward work.

As a filmmaker Brett flourishes in the space between documentary and fiction: working with real people to find and communicate powerful universal truths and insights.

He has a particular interest and resonance with the under represented – those on the edges of the mainstream - his work therefore celebrates diversity, inclusion and above all our common humanity.
