An Intimate Portrait of a Rebel Chef

​

Over the course of two years, film-director Rosie Zopfi followed Dutch Michelin-starred chef Jermain de Rozario.

​

The result is a gripping, 42-minute documentary that captures Jermain’s search for inner peace amidst a chaotic life.Jermain’s story is anything but ordinary. He started out as a garbage man and worked his way up into the world of haute cuisine. His path to success was far from straightforward: marked by drug use and financial struggles, his future once seemed uncertain. Today, Jermain de Rozario is an established name in the culinary world, honored with a Michelin star.

 

Together with D2D Media, I brought his rebellious and turbulent journey to the screen.

The documentary was commissioned by RTL, Videoland, and Omroep Brabant.
