At the age of 13 he finished his first zombie film and his journey to become a filmdirector had started. The dark side of humanity appeals to Heggelman, because it lives in everyone and it just needs the right incentives to wake up. It is one big playground for interesting themes, stories & characters. He graduated from the University of the Arts Utrecht as a writer & director with the Tuschinski film nominated short film Best Friends. Best Friends is a 30 minute buddy comedy, with a touch of horror, film and has been shown at 20+ film festivals and various movie theatres for a year and a half. After the succes of Best Friends he started focusing on other theme's and genre's. The short romantic comedy with a fantasy twist I Can Fly was born after experiencing a emotional abstract dream, that tried to process certain experiences. He took inspiration from the abstract dream and wrote the scenario together with Thij de Haan. He directed I Can Fly, with Remy Jesse Schepers as the producer at his side. Heggelman is constantly looking for interesting perspectives for telling a story, often with a mash-up of genre's, like his SCREAMFEST selected short film MIME. The film serves as a pilot for a full fledged (web) series or feature film. Heggelman and his team are currently looking for parties to collaborate.br br ********************************************************************br br Screamfest Horror Film Festival is America’s largest and longest running horror film festival.
