about me
I'm a documentary filmmaker and cinematographer. I like to tell stories visually, more then creating a narrative based on text. I try to create an experience of what we want to communicate. Small gestures and expressions tell me more than words. Especially in a world where our thinking is dominant, I am interested in experiencing things with our body and senses. Focusing on people's physical and emotional experiences. Like in my movie 'Cocoon' which shows a sensitive side of young boxers preparing for a match. Or in my last film 'WITH ALL THERE IS' (International title: 'Dancers') about people with Parkinson's disease who take up the challenge to dance. Both films had their premiere at the Dutch Film Festival and where shown on Dutch television.

ask me for
Voor sterk visueel en observerend camerawerk. Ik ben gericht op het overbrengen van een gevoel of ervaring. Met oog voor detail en menselijkheid.

remarks
I am socially involved and make easy and sincere contact with people. When I film I can be invisible and at the same time shoot an intimate and personal image. I always assume to tell a story through the power of image and sound, which lingers longer than just conveying information. I am reliable, committed and precise. In editing I think outside the lines, rhythmically and think about sound in a creative way. And I make clear choices to make the story as strong as possible. I like to work together and I coach people as a teacher.
