Studied at the University of Amsterdam between 2016 and 2021, where he obtained a Bachelor in Media & Culture and a Master in Film Studies. Towards the end of that period, he worked with a group of friends and fellow students on his first two film projects as a director and screenwriter: De Laatste Kraker (2021) and Bertje (2022). These were incredibly educational projects, and formed the basis for the next steps in his career. He gained other film experience as a production assistant for De Libi, by working on commercial videos and making video clips.
