FRANK DEVOS – COMERCIAL DIRECTOR
Born on 29/03/69 in Belgium.

After graduating from the Brussels school of cinema in 1995, Devos began his directorial career in soaps, drama series and variety shows for Belgian television. In his spare time he also began freelancing as a First Assistant Director for commercials, music videos and short films.

This experience quickly moved Frank away from television. In a short period of time he assisted many established directors on 6 features, 2 dozen music videos and over 150 commericials.

Frank is primarily interested in what he calls realistic humor in daily life, conveying credible and identifiable situations to his audience. His films relay a warmth, simplicity and precision that touches people. Without talking down to his audience, Frank communicates humor that is at once youthful, yet mature.
