about me
I teach (part-time) various subjects in media and publicity within a higher professional education in Communication. I have also been teaching a minor in Film for four years now; it has been going above expectations since its launch. - I have been writing (and publishing) for many years (including fiction). In recent years I have added screenwriting to that. After having been a film reviewer for various media, I myself followed a course in multi-camera directing (TV College, Hilversum) and a one-year course in Film Director Fiction (Amsterdam Film School).

In recent years I have been writing and directing shorts and documentaries, and I write for other filmmakers.
