Director

MARIANI VERMEEND – Together with Screenwriter Henri Debidour I developed the characters and the treatment for The Heart of the Ocean. Currently I am writing full time and studying Professional Screenwriting at RMIT in Melbourne to assure I will deliver the full script for the project this year. I am also developing several other film scripts – please click:
http://theheartoftheocean.com/ and find short synopses for 3 projects!

I am a filmmaker and underwater photographer and travelled, sailed, scuba-dived and photographed marine life all over the world for over 20 years. Mariani tested the famous Underwater SLR Nikon RS AF for Nikon Benelux and worked extensively with Canon Digital Art projects.
