Tom Van Eersel

Independent director and artistic director, my goal: to create films that people watch all the way through, not just the first 10 seconds...

Brand content, mini-series for social media, documentaries, show recordings, portraits. I shoot solo, which makes me responsive, discreet, and capable of infiltrating pretty much anywhere, from a Norman stud farm to a Parisian theater.

Before founding my company, Comme on a dit, I spent 20 years working in television and understanding what works visually. I was web editor-in-chief for Arte (28 Minutes, Vox Pop) and Canal+ (La Matinale, La Nouvelle Édition, Le Grand Journal). This dual editorial + directing profile gives me an advantage: I don't just film what I'm asked to, I think about what we want to tell.

Recent clients: France Galop, Tartine et Chocolat, Haras des Capucines, Bonton, Viens voir mon taf, Compagnie de la Césure, etc.

I also work with theaters and cultural organizations for recordings, teasers, and actor portraits — because live performance deserves real visual attention.

I direct, among other things:

- Institutional films & brand content

- Mini-series and short formats for social media

- Documentaries and reports

- Live performance recordings

- Season teasers & trailers

- Portraits of actors, artists, personalities
