Henk van Mierlo
Filmmaker, designer, photographer, marketing and communications manager; Henk van Mierlo is a one-man business with many faces. Only a few years after Van Mierlo graduated cum laude from the Artibus Academy of Visual Arts in Utrecht, he started his own company in Ootmarsum. With several years of experience at leading Dutch advertising agencies in his pocket, he quickly managed to produce his high-profile publicity campaigns, which particularly appealed to the film division. Big names such as Philips, Albert Heijn, Siemens and KLM sought out Van Mierlo for publicity and film campaigns. Van Mierlo preferred to be behind the camera to produce in Full HD with the RED camera, or on 35mm films. In the meantime, almost fifty years later, Henk van Mierlo's trophy cabinet is brimming with awards for his hundreds of films. Van Mierlo is also highly regarded in the field of design. From corporate identities for international companies to the packaging of Albert Heijns house brand; Van Mierlo has been at home in all markets. His total work was so controversial that he received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Film and Television Festival in America, during which the American jury expressed its appreciation for his entire oeuvre. On this website you will find Van Mierlo's full story (CV) and his works.
Quote from Eugene Roorda from Roorda Advertising Agency:
“In 2004 I finally ran into Henk van Mierlo. Not only was he still alive, but he is also extremely impetuous. Rarely bumped into such an enthusiastic, so disciplined and so gifted man. The camera has less secrets for Henk than my right hand. . . . . ”

Quote from Albert Heijn
“The premiere took place for the 100 descendants of Albert and Neeltje Heijn.
That they left the cinema with tears in their eyes was perhaps very sentimental, but still. .”
