TRAINERS

Miga graduated in 2008 at the Utrecht University of the Arts (AudioVisual Media, BDes). After graduating he started a free-lance practice as postproduction supervisor, which at the time was a position filled by only a handful of people in The Netherlands. After a 3 year detour at The Netherlands Film Festival, where Miga served as Head of Production and IT, he came back to the field of postproduction. This time around he served as Director of Technology and Innovation at Amsterdam based image post house Filmmore. 

In 2018 Miga made a leap into the international space, joining Netflix to manage the Production Technology team for Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA). In this role he managed a team that supported all Netflix original productions on a technical level, helping the crews to reach the highest technical quality possible and to implement new technologies into their workflows. 

As of 2022 Miga offers his services as workflow and postproduction consultant to productions and post houses across the globe and serves as teacher at The Netherlands Film Academy.

Additionally, he keeps training and knowledge-sharing a vital part of his career, collaborating with APostLab, and other European initiatives.
