about me
After completing the MBO course in activity supervision in 1998, I decided to continue my study career in the audiovisual direction from then on. At the AKV/St. Joost in Breda I studied audiovisual design/filmmaking in the direction of fiction and documentary. After several years of experience with small film productions (including production, concept development, camera, cap, gaffer) I decided in 2008 to start as a freelancer for myself as a filmmaker and photographer. I focus on fiction, documentary and corporate film.

remarks
As a filmmaker and photographer, I have a background in healthcare. My first films deal with aging people (16mm Project (2002), Old School (2002) , Symptoms (2005)).
With my work experience in healthcare, I have developed a clear sense of information transfer, presentation and guidance. I have also gained the necessary experience in setting up and coordinating projects for and with different target groups.
