EDITING
Besides directing, I focused on editing during my film education. After editing the bachelor commercial and short film, I did an internship at post-production company Storm, where I learned a lot about the tasks as an editing assistant.
After my education I did editing assistance for two film projects.

DIRECTOR ASSISTANT
This is something I did for a number of projects during my film studies.
After graduating I did directing assistance for a film and a television series.
This has greatly improved my assistant director skills.

I was responsible for finding film locations, applying for permits, finding crew members, planning the logistics of filming, etc.
