about me
In 1993 I graduated in scenario/direction feature film at the Dutch Film and Television Academy. As a child I wanted to write stories. I read all the great books I could get my hands on. From my early adolescence, my interest in photography was also aroused, in addition to drawing. A story in a photo, capturing the beautiful light or an emotion.

remarks
At the age of 23 I already directed my first soap opera: "Onderweg naar Morgen". That's how I learned decoupling for a multi-camera series. (I also gained experience at "Gold Coast" and "Good times, bad times"). This specialism is also necessary for comedy series that are recorded in front of a live audience. I have directed several series of this genre. (Sam Sam, My daughter and I, Child at home). It's a special way of thinking in your decoupage and communication to your crew. In this area I also give workshops on behalf of the film academy.

Through a lot of experience and a strong intuition, I know what will make a viewer stick to a program.
It is extremely important to me that a story is told in an exciting, beautiful and funny way. I pay close attention to the subtext of the actors. Tempo building through the scenes. The camerawork must fit well with what is being told and must also occasionally show a very crazy eye-catching shot. And last but not least, nothing can break or make a film like editing and audio post-processing. I started a lot of new series, which taught me a lot about what is and isn't important when starting a new project.

trackrecord
Since 1994 I have directed non-stop series for all kinds of broadcasters. Series like "IC, Rozengeur and Wodkalime, De Department, My daughter and I, Lotte". These series range from Sitcom for a live audience, soap opera, drama, youth series, to comedy. I also made a short film in collaboration with Pupkin Film. After the very successful youth series "Het huis Anubis", I am now making my "One Night Stand 2011 for the VPRO under the title: "Long Shall She Live"
