Born in Zaandam, The Netherlands, Mikail Roqué developed his passion for film at a young age while looking for DVDs to take home from the local charity shops. He discovered his own taste and style during his time at the Media College in Amsterdam. The assignments were more on the practical, straightfoward side, but Mikail managed to express his experimental ideas of filmmaking within the requirements and limitations of the task.
Mikail likes creating stories and character studies about unusual people. He tends to approach his subjects with a patient, subtle and objective eye while following them through their daily life.
He is currently focused on editing short films and other video projects.
