										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Niels Benjamin La Croix—it might sound like I belong in a fairytale château, but I’m actually the youngest son of a Dutch bookkeeper and an activity supervisor for the elderly. My filmmaking journey kicked off in the 90s, playing with my dad’s trusty Sony Hi8 cam (that fade-in option was pure magic).</p>



<p>After a stint as an agency art director, I realized the world didn’t need more cookie-cutter ads. With consumers drowning in thousands of marketing messages daily, I set out to create films that take the ordinary and make it extraordinary.</p>



<p>I’m a foodie with a flair for the unconventional. From swanky lenses to crazy robots and epic slow-motion, I bring every tool to the table. Over the past decade, I’ve worked with brands like McDonald’s, KFC, Nutella, and Philips to create bold, memorable films.</p>



<p>If you’re looking for something different, let’s shake things up and make magic happen.</p><p>The post <a href="https://chopstickfilms.tv/director/niels-la-croix/">Niels La Croix</a> first appeared on <a href="https://chopstickfilms.tv">Chopstick Films</a>.</p>]]></content:encoded>
