With over 20 years of experience behind the camera, Dieter Decostere knows the rhythm of a set inside out. He learned the ropes as an assistant director on high-end commercial shoots, where he developed a deep understanding of the craft.

‍

A defining moment in his career came with the VRT fiction series Kaat & Co (starring Nathalie Meskens), where Dieter blurred the line between fiction and reality, bringing viewers stories that felt so real, they could have been lived. That instinct for honest, believable storytelling now defines his commercial work.

‍

As a director and screenwriter, Dieter has worked with some of the most recognizable brands in Belgium; Leo, Côte d’Or, ICI PARIS XL, Red Bull, BPOST, Vinted, BASE, Pfizer, ING, TUI fly, and more. Always delivering campaigns that connect through emotion and credibility.

In recent years, Dieter has also brought his sensitive, cinematic approach to documentary. His visual direction for several Pano investigations has tackled delicate topics with care and depth. The 2024 documentary "Jeugdhulp in crisis" was recently nominated for an AIB Award (Association of International Broadcasting).
