Featured in Sabato, Belgium’s leading high-end lifestyle and culture magazine, awarded European Magazine of the Year. In this piece, Charlotte Verminck reflects on her creative path – from growing up along the Belgian coast to premiering Mind of Thoughts in Hollywood – and the small rituals that keep her grounded in the fast-paced world of filmmaking.

A few highlights from the article:

“First I ground myself: barefoot I walk into our garden. À la Cinderella, and totally un-Knokke-like, I feed the animals – in rain and wind. That caring side runs deep in me, also on set.”
“As an Emily Dickinson fan, I based the name of my production company on one of her poems: ‘If your nerve deny you – go above your nerve.’ Pushing your boundaries and daring to rise above them, that is the message I want to share.”
"With Above the Nerve, I aim to create productions where every voice is valued, and equality within the crew is at the core."
“One day I want to arrive on the red carpet with my riding mower – a marriage between Hollywood glitter and Middelburg mud.” That ‘head in the clouds, feet on the ground’ mentality is something I never want to lose.”
“As a shy, introverted teenager, I found an outlet for my creativity and my dramatic side in video and film.”
“During filming, my 81-year-old grandmother – among 55 others – worked on set every day as a stylist. People shouldn’t dismiss passionate creatives just because they’re older.”
