Our Team
Ivo Belohoubek MA
Creative Director
I am an award-winning director, film maker, photographer and DoGoodFilms’ creative lead. I am equally comfortable behind the lens in remote locations, on a zoom call helping our clients find creative solutions, in the edit suite or directing Dogoodfilms’ internationally acclaimed animations. With 20 years of experience I know how to tell a story and I love telling stories of those who make an impact in the world. Do get in touch!
