Ben Lardinois

I am a designer, music producer, and director. Driven by the expression of our creativity, distinctiveness, and a hunger for independence, Bashar and I founded a design agency together in 2016: jongens en co. Over the years, we've created identities for clients, built websites, and contributed to projects by fellow entrepreneurs, with occasional video production work.

After completing the same program at SintLucas in Boxtel, we had our own ideas and motivations regarding design and media that we wanted to bring to life. However, because we primarily focused on networking, cold acquisition, and making our venture financially viable in the early years, we never truly filled our portfolio with work that truly reflected our burning passion. Therefore, at the end of 2019, we definitively decided to pursue our passion: Cinema!

After smaller productions like music films and other content, we have since collaborated on various film productions, fulfilling different roles: ranging from Production (assistance) to scriptwriting, casting, sound design, graphic design, editing, special effects, and directing.

Currently, our short film 'THUISLAND' (working title) is among other projects in production.
