Lights, Camera, Graduate! Rory’s Graduation Films

Donation protected
Hi! I’m Rory Ferguson,
an all-round filmmaker in my final year at the Dutch Filmers Academy in Amsterdam. I’m currently kicking off production for my graduation project—and I need your help to bring it to life.

My passion lies in music video filmmaking, and my goal is to break into the industry with a portfolio that shows both range and originality. That’s why, for my graduation, I’m creating not one, but two unique music video projects—each with a completely different style, tone, and audience.

The Projects
To showcase the versatility of my work, I’ve teamed up with two very different music artists:

ARCHY – an up-and-coming rap artist. For this project, I’m directing a hyper-stylised, cinematic music video that blends striking visuals with bold, conceptual storytelling.

Henk Dissel – a well-known Dutch folk singer. With him, I’m creating an intimate, documentary-style video that follows his life on tour—offering a raw, behind-the-scenes look at the artist behind the music. We'll get to know Henk Dissel like never before.

Why Two Films?
These two projects are designed to showcase my creative range—from polished, stylised visual storytelling to natural, character-driven documentary work. I want to prove that I can work across genres, and bring a strong visual identity to any kind of music.

Where Your Support Goes
Even though both videos are passion projects, there are real production costs involved—think locations, camera gear, props, transport, and crew. Your donation, big or small, helps me push the boundaries of what’s possible at a student level, and make something I can truly be proud of.

If you love music, film, or just want to support young creatives getting their start—please consider donating or sharing this project. Let’s make something amazing together.

Thanks so much,
Rory Ferguson
