Who is Hans Gomm?

Hans Gomm started in the mind of an Italian eye surgeon, meeting me, Joos Gommans.

When I was 9 years old, I was on holiday in the area of Trasimeno Lake with my family. I got an infection in my eye and I was taken to a local hospital, where my parents were asked what my name was. My mum gave our surname "Gommans". However, the eye surgeon misheard this name, thinking it was my last name followed by my first name. So, a couple of weeks later my family received a bill for "Hans Gomm". Since then, that name got stuck.

Hans Gomm is now an independent film company, a practical solution to 'get things done' and keep doing what I like to do.
