Filmmaker Rien Bexkens, also known as Rini Tortellini, directs fictional films, documentaries, music videos, commercials and crossovers. His personal work strongly focuses on societal issues, cautionary tales and defending - or selling the underdog, anti-hero or peoples champion.

As a director, Rien Bexkens has a strong eye for aesthetics and cinematography with imagery often biased towards hip-hop culture. Amidst these hard-to-miss visuals, his subjects remain surprisingly human and real; their lives respectfully followed. Nevertheless his fictional productions can also be influenced by cult, French New Wave, absurdism and/or humour noir.
