Letter of Recommendation

For Fatima Khanfour
The Netherlands

To Whom It May Concern,
After running into Fatima’s actors profile online and working with her by chance, I insisted on writing a
letter of recommendation for her as I see her as a highly qualified and motivated actress.
My name is Ries Straver and I am Film Maker and Senior Producer at Tellart, an international design
consultancy with deep experience in pushing technological boundaries to create unique and
engaging stories in the form of exhibitions, installations and films. Founded in Providence, Rhode Island
in 2000, we now have studios in New York, San Francisco, Amsterdam and Dubai. Tellart was recently
honored with the 2016 National Design Award in Interaction Design by the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian
Design Museum.
Fatima and my team have worked closely together on a successful film project and on set she stood out
for her improvisational talent, positive energy, proactive spirit in what can sometimes be a relatively
stressful environment. It’s been a pleasure to work with Fatima. She’s got tons of patience and is eager
to try out new things. Also her subtle, non-verbale performances are inspiring and she persists on
difficult moments and never stops contributing new ideas.
I have watched Fatima shine creatively and technically. I am thrilled that she is eager to go beyond the
limits of her acting career and could not be more proud to recommend her. She would be a strong and
highly successful contributor to your project. Please feel free to contact me if you need more
information.
Sincerely,
Ries Staver
Film Maker & Senior Producer, Tellart
