About Karel

I am also the founder of OZZYWOOD and The Story Department. I hold a Diploma of Licentiate in Germanic Philology (that's literature and linguistics).

Before moving to Sydney, Australia in 2001, I headed Programming and Acquisitions at the Digital Broadcasting Company in London, I bought films for Europe's biggest pay-tv Canal Plus and was a movie show host for MTV Europe.
I started my career in the late eighties producing top rating radio shows in Belgium, my country of birth. One show I originated outlasted my job (and my interest!), as it ran for no less than seventeen years.

Since moving to Australia, I have produced three short films, co-produced two documentaries and two feature films. Alongside my production work, I have always enjoyed blogging, teaching and consulting.

My clients have been writers, directors and producers and a few of them have won some cool awards. They've each told me they wouldn't have won without my help. (I only take on very kind clients.)

My work as a Producer, Co-Producer and Exec Producer has resulted in a diverse range of projects finding development money, production funds, post-production investment, international sales, film festival wins, etc.
