about me
Already started making documentaries during my studies, with the wind-up 16 mm camera from the anthropological institute in Leiden. Then many documentaries around the world. Later drama also became an important part of my work.

remarks
During research, they already shoot a lot themselves, and a number of beautiful short films have emerged from that. In addition, I work with a number of great cameramen and sound people.
