Arjan Boot

Started with casting extras, ended up directing as Crowd AD.

From day one of my film career, I've always wanted to work with extras. That's why I started with a casting agency for extras and supporting roles. After a short while, I realised that I had a knack for coordinating extras on set, so I expanded my role from casting director to Crowd Assistant Director.

I'm honoured for the productions I have been a part of, and thankful to my extras for helping create the right atmosphere in the background.
