ask me for
Alles dat niet volgens de geijkte paden gerealiseerd wordt wekt mijn bewondering en interesse. Er is geen specifiek genre dat mijn voorkeur geniet, ik ben een liefhebber van films die deze regels juist proberen te rekken. Over het algemeen hou ik gewoon van mooie dingen, dingen die intrigeren en vermaken. Daar kan je mij altijd voor bellen of mailen.
specifics
I find it difficult to qualify myself in terms of specifics. I prefer to leave that to others.
equipment
Een van de geweldige dingen van het schrijven is dat je niet meer nodig hebt dan een pen en wat papier. En een laptop om Youtube-filmpjes te bekijken tijdens lunchpauzes.
Voor het uitwerken van scenario's gebruik ik Final Draft, en om te monteren Final Cut Pro.

info
Since 2011 I study at the Netherlands Film Academy, where I have been able to write and direct several short films. In addition, together with some childhood friends, I form a company that focuses on experimental cinema, music and theater - all in a low-budget atmosphere, of course, given the 'challenging' financial climate in which the art sector currently finds itself.
