In 2005, Sil van der Woerd, born in the Netherlands in 1982, finished his study Fine Arts (Cum Laud) at ArtEZ, Institute of the Arts in Arnhem, the Netherlands. At the Academy, Sil started using film and mixed new media, live action and dominant soundtracks to express his fictitious, atmospheric worlds. In 2004, his short film Duet started to gain public attention and had a series of successful festival plays. Then his short film Swim went global and brought home several awards and nominations. After his study in the Netherlands, Sil started another study, this time at Gnomon, School of Visual effects in Hollywood. At Gnomon, Sil learned lots of new techniques that he exhibited in his award winning music video Worms for singer Lolly jane Blue. Worms was the beginning of a collaboration between Sil and the singer where they started to build a visual world around the songs. The making of Worms was covered in a 10 hour training DVD series recorded at the Gnomon workshop. By 2010, Duet, Swim and Worms received a combined total close to 2 million views on Youtube. In between, Sil created an underwater sequence for the 9th edition of Sensation, the world's leading dance event and did freelance work for Onesize, a Dutch motion graphics company. In 2008, Sil went back to Gnomon. This time as artist in residence, where he finished his second music video for Lolly Jane Blue titled White Swan. For this project, Sil collaborated with a group of Gnomon students to complete the post production. White Swim premiered on July 11th. The video won a couple of awards and another 17 hour making of was released through the Gnomon workshop. As of 2009, Sil is represented in the USA by Digital Domain, in Europe by Annex Films and in Asia by Tribe. Sil currently resides in Los Angeles.
