Karel van Bellingen

Karel van Bellingen is a writer-director hailing from Brussels, Belgium. Eyeing a career in filmmaking since early childhood, which was mostly spent drawing cowboys, constructing electric robots and building life-size spaceships in his parents’ basement, his first love was special effects. Eventually growing out of this obsession, he spent some time at university earning degrees in social sciences and cultural studies before moving to London and completing his MA in filmmaking from the London Film School, specializing in editing and directing. Still London-based, Karel has worked extensively in narrative fiction and advertising as a director, editor and creative. His ambitious half hour sci-fi epic THE LEAP garnered global industry attention and led to several feature projects currently being in development.
