Film, to me, is about more than storytelling—it’s about experience. It’s the interplay of image, rhythm and emotion that allows a story to resonate beyond the screen. Whether working in fiction, television or short form, I’m driven by the idea that film should not just be seen, but felt.
I’m a Dutch writer, director and producer, born and raised at Doorwerth Castle and trained at the Dutch Film Academy in Amsterdam. I began my career as an editor, developing a strong foundation in narrative structure before moving into directing.
Over the years, I’ve worked across feature films, television and short-form projects. My debut feature The Silence of the Soul received the Golden Crown Award in Atlanta, while Swingers gained international attention for its bold, independent approach.
Later work such as Caged and Counterparts expanded my reach internationally, with the latter being part of the Emmy Award–winning Entertainment Experience project.
Alongside feature filmmaking, I’ve directed television series and a wide range of short films, many of which have received awards at international festivals. My work continues to explore human relationships, tension, and the boundaries of intimacy—often through a visual style that balances precision with emotional immediacy.
Working from my independent studio, I develop projects from concept through to final delivery, collaborating with a close network of creatives. Whether it’s a feature film, series or short-form piece, the focus remains the same: to create work that leaves a lasting impression.
