Linda Waaijer working with an immersive Blackmagic camera system

Chief Executive Officer

Linda Waaijer

“Immersion isn't created by technology alone. It comes from understanding how people experience space.”

With a background spanning filmmaking, Steadicam operation and immersive camera systems, Linda has spent years developing the practical techniques required to capture true spatial presence.

From precision camera movement to advanced Blackmagic immersive workflows, her experience ensures productions are built around the viewer's natural perception rather than the limitations of a traditional frame.

As CEO of Immersed Films, Linda oversees production, client delivery and immersive workflow design across every project.
