about me
I now have more than 17 years of experience as a legal advisor. My hobby that got out of hand is a completely different sport, namely writing and producing films. My team and I won the Gouds Film Festival in 2021 with the short film 'Vlaflip'. This allowed me to serve as a jury member during the 2023 edition.

In addition, I have been translating and subtitling (short) films since 2018. The source languages are; Dutch, English and Portuguese. The target languages are Dutch and English.

Het schrijven van teksten en treatments, maar ook mag je mij benaderen voor ondertitelprojecten. Sinds juni 2019 werk ik op freelance basis als ondertitelaar voor Dutch Channels (Engels - Nederlands).

remarks
One of the most unique qualities that is very important for a screenwriter, and that I have, is that I can empathize. When I write a screenplay I play the scene to myself frame by frame. I immediately think of how a character looks, what gestures are made, etcetera.
