Vincent Soekra (1967) has become an audiovisual omnivore. Already at the age of 9 he made children's radio under the guidance of the well-known actress Gerda Havertong.
As a student he was involved in the development of radio programs for peers.
With his work experience at various levels within the audiovisual media, he has specialized in preparing, writing and executing film and television projects and events.

These productions: 'Another Symphony in Black - A modern Rhapsody of Negro Life' and 'Lekker Loopje - a homage to Kid Dynamite' have been screened at various film festivals.
Over the years he shifts his focus by also producing and directing large-scale entertainment projects and stage events.
