Commotion is a creative impact collective that stirs things up, creates waves and builds movements, all with the power of stories. We make films, audio docs, curate shows and talks, and simply create all kinds of multidisciplinary formats to fuel commotion on all levels and across borders. We are connected to a global pool of creatives, storytellers, artists, designers, scientists and organizations. We genuinely collaborate with those who have unique ideas, advocate progressive ideals and have the guts create some commotion. Commotion is founded by Floris Rijssenbeek and Julia Muller. 

Julia Muller works at the intersection of journalism, performing arts and impact production. As a mix of curator, researcher, audio creative and interviewer, she makes programs about art, culture, philosophy, politics, history, media and literature. With a background in social sciences (Human Rights, Conflict and Migration Studies in Utrecht, Haifa and Oxford) and experience in the social, cultural, and creative sectors, she focuses on (social) justice, equality and imagination. Julia works for Brainwash Festival, creates programs for cultural organizations, museums and independent makers, and is part of the Oorzaken Podcast Academy 2024.
