I am highly proficient in producing high quality videos for broadcast, cinema and exhibitions, but also I have wide experience producing communication productions for educational, campaigning and advocacy purposes in collaboration with international human rights and environmental organizations and in the field with grassroots people.
As an independent filmmaker I mainly focus on documentary film, with a main expertise in video editing.
In addition I fully enjoy my work as trainer video and journalist and I have trained many young media professionals in the Netherlands, Myanmar and in Haiti.
