about me
After working as a soap director for five years (multi-camera directing) I started freelancing. In addition to my work as a director at various television production companies, I have my own company for web and corporate films. Depending on the type of assignment, I edit the film myself or I hire someone to do this.

ask me for
Voor samenwerking. Want het leven van een ZZP-er kan wel wat gezelschap gebruiken. Voor documentaires, verhalen of programma’s over mensen. Voor een keigoede verslaggever of een camjo die directe vragen kan stellen. Of als je stage bij mij wilt lopen.:-)

remarks
Because of my drama background I can tell a cartoon well, I can interview well, all-round, go-getter, perfectionist, driven. I am an all-round director who can film and edit and I have my own equipment.

trackrecord
Started as a director with Good Times, Bad Times and the Road to Tomorrow. Fantastic to work in such a well-oiled team. The music video Colleen was a great experience to get a real clip in a castle! to make a movie. The documentary about the star chefs Pourcel at the World Expo in Shanghai was an unforgettable experience and the film portrait about Aleid was a moving look back at a turbulent life.

awards
The documentary 'L'universelle des Pourcel' was shown this year at the Amsterdam Food Festival, where I was also invited to talk about working in a star kitchen.
