Hi!
My name is Lourens Lente. My ambition as a filmmaker is to combine convincing storytelling with engaging visuals.
Here I show my film portfolio, my commissioned and my non-commissioned work from the last 5 years.
I work as a freelance director, cameraman and editor in Amsterdam and depending on the project I either work alone or in a team.
If you want to more about me as a person, go to About Me or ring me up for a cup of coffee.

Freedomlab Think tank
FreedomLab Think tank is a group of young thinkers with diverse backgrounds: philosophy, economics, man-machine interaction, social science and innovation studies. Every month they organise Future Affairs, a college talk about a specific subject. Afterwards the speakers will give a summery what they talked about. I’m responsible for the filming, lightning, sound and editing.

Signing of a new contract between Rabobank and the Stedelijk Museum. I’m responsible for most of the filming and the editing.
Urban Greeners
A promotional film for Urban Greeners, a group of start-ups located on the island Utopia in Almere. On this island they experiment with green and sustainable alternatives. I’m responsible for the whole process: from script writing to recording the voice-over, to (drone)filming, to editing.
Wedding Film
I made this wedding film at the most beautiful location next to the beach in the south of France. This was my first wedding film and I enjoyed it a lot. I’m responsible for all the filming, the drone filming and the editing.
Benjamin Fro – Witte Man
Just before the elections of 2017, I saw a spoken word act on Facebook. It inspired me so much that I contacted the artist about making a video clip for him. Not only was he pleased, so were a lot of people on Facebook. After 2 days this videos had more than 50.000 views.
Fiction Films
On this page I show the short fiction films I made. During the creation of my very first fiction film I couldn’t find someone who could play the main actor so I decided to play it myself. That’s also where my love for acting and theater started. Lucy D Floris wakes up in the morning […]
About me
I am a self-taught filmmaker. These days it’s not hard to get your information and learn on your own. Do you have an idea? Just do it. And so I did. I made 4 short fiction films and surrounded myself with enthusiastic people. People who want to learn and get inspired.
In 2014 I finished my bachelor degree in Communication & Multimedia Design at the HVA in Amsterdam (CMDA) and since then I’m working as a freelancer. During my studies, I’ve learned to work together in groups and I’ve passed through the different stages of a creative project.
As a freelancer, or creative entrepreneur as I’d like to call myself, I’ve put my skills to a professional level but most importantly, I’ve learned to teach myself. Being an autodidact creator requires curiosity, motivation and the power to keep on after failing. Being an entrepreneur requires commitment, discipline, and creativity.
