My name is Stephan Cornelio Velema. Dutch - Colombian roots. Design Academy Bachelor. Since graduating I have not taken a film path for granted. Started with video in 2011; people thought I could edit after learning photoshop, I started making more and more and sending my own work to film festivals, of which a number of selections and nominations have been made since 2012.
Because of my design background and location in the south, a film career didn't seem easy to achieve. Nevertheless, I founded my production house www.studiofuego.nl with the main goal of 'amazing people with stories.'
Since then I have mainly shot corporate video projects at home and abroad. In 2015 I studied 'visual and dramatic writing' and 'cinematography' for 4 months at New York University, TSOA.
In addition, every so often I launch an independent film project with my regular freelancers with the aim of independent cinematic productions. The last short 'DUST' screened in 2016 at international film festivals in LA, NY, Berlin, Lisbon and Eindhoven.
