Exosphere is a Dutch film production company founded in 2016, committed to producing intelligent, internationally resonant films and series that combine artistic integrity with broad audience appeal.
With a bold creative outlook and the capacity to handle large-scale productions, Exosphere seeks to push beyond the traditional scope of Dutch filmmaking and compete on an international stage.
Harald Swinkels, founder of Exosphere, is an award-winning writer, director, and producer. His debut short Drawback (2024), featuring Claes Bang, established his approach: psychologically complex narratives exploring moral ambiguity through mesmerizing visual craft. Drawback earned Swinkels 33 international festival awards.
As producer on the Tribeca-winning Beyond Silence (2025), he navigates the responsibilities of bringing fragile, necessary stories to the screen.
Odessa (2025) escalates his vision - a 35mm period piece that explores the human capacity for kindness and cruelty, set against one of the darkest periods in human history and the haunting beauty of the Dolomites. Swinkels' work aspires to transcend borders, leaving audiences with ideas that linger long after the credits roll.
Rianne Beenes is a young producer with an extensive background in live events, cultural initiatives, and international productions. Her work has consistently required balancing creative vision with high-end execution — from coordinating complex logistics to collaborating with demanding stakeholders and managing budgets under tight timelines.
Known for her adaptability and poise, she brings a fresh perspective and strong organizational expertise to Exosphere’s film slate, where she is currently producing several projects in development.
