Dick Maas
Dick Maas was born in Heemstede, in North Holland, on 15 April 1951. A graduate of the Amsterdam film school, he writes, directs and composes the music for his own films, which he plays on synthesizers, and says he gained the most from it in the end. His comedies and horror films make him the king of Dutch genre cinema, and draw millions of viewers. He is still making films in the 2020s and celebrates his seventy-fifth birthday in 2026.
