remarks
In terms of themes that I focus on and what I write about, what I contribute to or what I produce can be seen as controversial. I like to do something with language: a different or secret language, poetry, double meanings. What I do the most is that I do something different than usual.

awards
Personal: winner of Autovisie's Photo Competition 'AutoRAI 2011'. In team: Audience Award Imagine Filmfestival 2013 with the trailer Tree of Flesh. Young Positive Media Award 2013 for the film Ruben.

Best 48 Hour Film Worldwide, Best Female Lead Worldwide (Sandra de Zwart), Best Film (Rotterdam), Audience Award, Best Sound Design and Best 48 Hour Film of The Netherlands (Audience Award) with the film These Dirty Words. The rest is on IMDb.
