Marijn Wigman grew up surrounded by the film industry, with multiple family members actively involved in filmmaking. This early exposure sparked a natural interest in the world of cinema. However, to gain a wider perspective, Marijn pursued a degree in Business Administration, studying in both Amsterdam and London. She graduated from the University of Westminster, equipping herself with a strong foundation in business strategy and management.
Eager to blend her passion for film with her academic background, Marijn began her career at a production company in Berlin, where she honed her skills in the operational aspects of film production. The allure of the entertainment industry led her to further her education by enrolling in a master's program in audiovisual management at the renowned Media Business School in Spain. This program deepened her understanding of the complexities involved in managing creative projects within the media landscape.
In 2012, Marijn transitioned into freelance work, contributing to various productions and solidifying her expertise in both creative and managerial roles. By 2014, she joined CTM Films—now known as Nuts & Bolts—integrating into the family business. Here, Marijn found the perfect intersection of her dual passions: the artistic process of storytelling and the strategic side of bringing those stories to life. Her work continues to exemplify the blend of creativity and business acumen, positioning her as a dynamic force in the film industry.
