About

What intrigues me about film is how vividly a story can be visualised. I am passionate about creating films with a cinematic and authentic feel by capturing the essence of stories in abstract yet targeted ways. Films evoke feelings. It is an extremely powerful art form. Contact: [email protected] // +31 6 34 03 29 69 For me, it is a pleasure to create an original concept with my clients and to produce a film or video that is goal oriented. Depending on the style and size of a production, I place myself in the role of director, DP/cinematographer and/or editor. If the project requires specific expertise or more manpower than I can provide by myself, I select a team of people I trust to complete the project within the agreed timeframe and budget. I enjoy working in a fast paced independent environment where I can work with people while being presented with a diverse set of challenges to stimulate my creativity. Creating films is an art, it’s a beautiful process.
