About Me
I am a documentary filmmaker, director, and format developer with over 30 years of experience in the media world.
I worked for Dutch broadcasters such as NPO and VPRO, and in recent years as an independent filmmaker for international channels, festivals, and clients.
In my work, I explore what is happening beneath the surface. I work with diverse groups, from young people to professionals, and guide people in making their inner world and story visible.
My approach combines intuition and structure. I listen attentively, ask targeted questions, and help translate thoughts, experiences, and feelings into a clear and meaningful narrative. This creates space for reflection, self-insight, and development.
My guidance is personal, direct, and focused on depth. Not aimed at quick answers, but at what truly resonates.
I have won multiple awards for my work, including a Nipkow Disc and recognition at international film festivals. For me, storytelling is not a technique, but a way to create insight, direction, and connection.

Education
Method
I do not teach in the classical sense. I work from making.
When someone works with me, the goal is not only insight, but a concrete and tangible result. By the end of the process, the individual has developed their own story and translated it into a form, such as a short film, audio story, or concept.
I guide the entire process: from finding an idea that resonates with you, to development and realization. We work on content, structure, and form, but also on how you look, think, and make choices as a maker.
This is not just about technique, but about developing your own perspective. What do you look at? What do you want to tell? What is truly yours? And how do you make that visible?
I help make those questions concrete and turn them into a story that makes sense — both in terms of content and visuals.
My education;
Media Academy, supplemented by more than 35 years of practical experience as a documentary filmmaker, director, and format developer, in which storytelling, directing, and guiding people take center stage.
