The Philosophy of our Films
Most stories today are told from long-charted and well known places. But the most profound lessons don’t live in the light of the expected. They live at the threshold, in the “unknown,” and in the spaces we have been taught to overlook.
There is a quiet edge to the world we think we know.
Planet Sami is both an organisation and a fundamental philosophy. It is an argument for the radical act of listening in a world that has forgotten how to be still. Let us be your familiar known guide, taking you to the unknown.
“Effort in storytelling is a direct reflection of respect to the subject matter”
Whether it’s about a scientific discovery, the ancient and epic shaolin culture, personal stories or those in the known world.
By maximizing the effort put into storytelling through modern audiovisual means, we give the subject matter the respect, resolve, wonder and power that it rightfully deserves. We do not look away, and we do not rush the silence.

Planet Sami:
THE THINKER’S SAGA
An epic abstract short cinematic journey on the rise of artificial intelligence and our losing grip on the progress at hand, as dangers surface, and all we can do, is watch.
So what, Why not?
A short documentary about the life of Marijke, an incredibly kind, creative and funny woman who suffers from an unfortunate series of birth defects. She doesn’t let that stop her from living an amazing life, however!
JOYRIDE
A comedic fully-fledged short film about a young girl who’s interaction and connection with her AI Companion AMY drives her to a dangerous and interstellar journey. A feel good film, with a deep and seriously important message at its heart.
Global Launch Trailer
The Global Launch trailer is my current filmproject, hopefully to be finished by summer’s end.
Planet Sami : DRAGON CITY
I’m currently in the concept phase of the next big step. My big dream for now, to really get Planet Sami off the ground, is an ambitious documentary series about the incredibly interesting, epic and ancient Shaolin culture of China. Me, guiding the viewers through this epic cinematic journey into the unknown, to rediscover something long lost in modern society.
