thomas andrew barman , normally known as tom barman -lrb- born 1 january 1972 -rrb- , is a belgian musician and film director .
barman studied at the film school of st.-lucas in brussels , but did n't finish his studies because he wished to pursue a career in music .
in 1989 , he began by forming the rock band , deus , in antwerp .
although he had chosen music over his interest in film , his experience aided him in directing his own music videos for deus , and he made a short film in 1996 titled `` turnpike '' .
he also directed videos for other belgian musicians including axelle red and hooverphonic among others .
he is of norwegian descent from his father 's side .
in the summer of 2002 shooting started in antwerp for his first feature film `` any way the wind blows '' which was released in belgian cinemas in the summer of 2003 .
in february 2004 , he released `` the body gave you everything '' , the debut album by magnus , his dance-oriented project with techno producer cj bolland .
barman has since explored the other side of the camera as well .
he agreed to a `` leading role '' allowing directors , manu riche and renaat lambeet to film a documentary derived by barman 's everyday life , entitled `` tempo of a restless soul '' .
after showing at the ghent film festival one reviewer from `` flanders today '' ranked the film with a split score .
he feels the film should receive three of five stars for fans only , and two stars for others .
deus fans already familiar with barman , he pointed out , may be interested in the backstage , personal nature of the man due to the everyday `` fly on the wall '' view of the film .
however , he cautioned , it might be confusing to find the semi-retiring rock frontman behind scenes .
barman is now again playing with deus .
in 2006 , barman was one of the driving forces behind the 0110 concerts .
