The finest objects brought to you by Luud Smits
“Movies evoke emotions and the right object does that as well”
As a 10 year old boy, Luud would spend every Sunday afternoon at the cinema in the village. Often, the same movie would play for weeks but that did not matter. He was caught by the magic of cinema and in the dark, he experienced adventures in different worlds. His fascination for film was born and never left. Luud turned his hobby into a career and he has worked in various positions in the movie and cinema industry for 30 years. All these years, his passion for film continued to grow, as did his collection of special movie memorabilia. Because the experience in the movie theatre was not enough, he also wanted to be surrounded by his heroes of the silver screen at home. A poster, a signed photo or a prop (an object used in a movie) evoke a feeling of happiness and it is that emotion that you are looking for as a true collector. Luud is a regular at international film fairs and has accumulated a wealth of experience and knowledge. For more than 6 years he is now our Senior Expert in Movie Memorabilia, responsible for all auctions in this category, using his knowledge for the benefit of collectors and sellers and always looking for those most special objects.
