about me
I want to tell stories. Small or big stories, for small or big people. I prefer to see them come to life on a screen.
On my one blog (www.mijnblog70.blogspot.nl) I write a serial about five girlfriends (in their late thirties) who are having a dramatic weekend away.
On my other blog (www.josevanwinden.nl) I write about films, copywriting and everything else that interests me at that moment.
I also have a plan ready for an ONS: a romantic comedy in which a farmer is not looking for a wife (No milk without manure or ont.moeten). I'm working on the synopsis and treatment for a children's film about a boy who thinks he's a Superguppie and a short film about two middle-aged single sisters who have to deal with a big secret from their past. (And then William came)

ask me for
Romantische Komedies, Kinderfilms, One Night Stands, animatie.
