about me
I have been involved in film from a young age. In my sophomore year of high school I bought my first video camera and started making short films with friends. I liked that so much that I chose to go to the MBO Rijn IJssel in Arnhem. I started the video editor/cameraman course there. Documentary and journalism were discussed a lot at this training. This showed that I actually found this the most interesting part of film and I decided to throw myself into this direction. When I had obtained my diploma as a video editor/cameraman, I wanted to move on, more in the directing direction. That is why I chose to go to the Utrecht School of the Arts. I completed this training in August 2017 with my graduation documentary 'In Search of Better Days'.
