Hasse van Nunen started as a documentary producer with her company Een van de jongens. (One of the guys). A decade ago, she felt a strong need for her documentaries to make more of a societal impact. So, in 2015, together with Bernadette Kuiper, she founded the Impact Academy, now called Impact Makers. It was a Dutch, sector-wide collaboration between film funds, the Netherlands Public Broadcasting Corporation, broadcasters, producers and documentary makers to introduce impact production in The Netherlands. This resulted in the first funding opportunities for impact production and the first Dutch-trained impact producers.
Next to her production work, Hasse also became an impact producer herself. Her latest achievements include the impact programs for documentary series ‘Class’ (Sarah Sylbing and Ester Gould) and ‘Writing Hawa’ (Najiba Noori).

This year, she will start her new impact company called The Equality Collective; a collective of storytellers who work together towards more institutional equality.

Hasse also teaches impact production throughout Europe, at festivals and art schools. This year, she started a new nine-month-training course for impact production in the Netherlands: www.impact-lab.nl
