about me
I graduated cum laude in film and television sciences at Utrecht University, where I did research into the process of screenplay development, among other things. I work as a freelance script editor/script consultant together with producers, directors and screenwriters. In addition, as a film teacher I give (writing) courses, masterclasses and workshops in the field of film and screenplay.

trackrecord
For the past 3 years I have worked with directors, screenwriters and producers on a variety of projects: short films, feature films and television drama. As a freelance script editor and as a screenwriting teacher, I have been able to read, edit, analyze and review a large number of film and drama projects and have sat around the table with makers to provide feedback and advice, brainstorm and support. As an independent dramaturge I work (on a project basis) for Topkapi Films. Most recently I provided dramaturgical advice for Vechtmeisje (The Film Kitchen, director: Johan Timmers) and I am currently working as a script editor on Een Groot Geweld (Topkapi Films, screenplay: Manon Uphoff).
