Hell's Gate (2024)
Direction
At the 48 Hour Film Project Amsterdam 2024, I, as a 20-year-old filmmaker, achieved great success with my film "Hell Gate." It was a completely self-funded project, with everyone participating voluntarily and without compensation. This adventure was a clear sign to me that I was made for this profession.

Multiplayer (2024)
My first participation in the 48 Hour Film Project took place in Rotterdam. It was a valuable experience where I learned a lot about directing, especially by working with professional actors. I'm incredibly grateful for the inspiring people I met during this project.

Cuckold (2023)
Direction
During my internship at EMG in Hilversum in 2023, I made the film "Cuckold." It was my last chance to make a film with my friends that would allow me to fully express myself as a filmmaker. The film will be screened at Beeld en Geluid in Hilversum in December 2024.

Devil's trumpet The Thornapple (2022)
Direction
My final year film for the Grafisch Lyceum Utrecht was an incredibly valuable experience. I was able to create this film together with my fellow students and good friends, which was very rewarding for us. We ultimately held a screening at Kinepolis Utrecht, where the film won the award for Best Sound Design.
