From Form Independent Studio For Film and Design

About us

We are Ashley Govers and Jurjen Versteeg and since 2013 we are From Form, an independent creative studio for film and design.

As a duo, we work from idea to execution out of our Rotterdam-based studio (NL) where we often paint, build, and film. Our commercial and independent projects include short films, campaigns, commercials, film titles, graphic design, photography, and animation.

We love to build worlds that play with the real and imaginative, placing a strong focus on art direction and carefully arranged colours & compositions. As a result, our work is defined by a playful and cinematic approach with a love for the analog and imperfect.

We met at the Willem de Kooning Academy in 2008 and work together ever since.

The name From Form was decided under the pressure of a delivery deadline.
