about me
Nothing has ever captured my interest quite like film. It is etched in my memory how I was directing and filming the neighborhood friends on the square as a 7-year-old boy with a flip phone. I got my passion from my enthusiastic uncle and his gigantic DVD collection, which I am still jealous of now, 13 years later.

When school doesn't fill my day, I make sure filmmaking does. I love learning about film and I am eager to put that theoretical knowledge into practice with other filmmakers every day. After my high school career at the VWO, I will apply at the Łódź film school (Poland) for the master's program Film And Television Direction.

trackrecord
In addition to the countless films I have made for myself, I have participated in 'What Is Your Story?' at the Netherlands Film Academy, I have been able to help on sets of Halal a number of times and I have filmed and edited several projects for the University of Utrecht, the Dutch National Police, Skøll Amsterdam, ANYONE and Fontaine Cards, among others.

I am also a co-founder of New Layer, a company that focuses on uniquely portraying and selling playing cards in the context of Cardistry (card-shuffle art). Cardistry is an art form in which I am also active. Within New Layer I direct parts of the promotional material.
