Everybody knows people write these about themselves, right? So I may as well give in and switch to the dreaded first person perspective: Hi! I’m a director and screenwriter with a degree in Psychology. Initially focussed on acting, my habit of having opinions on, well, everything, soon led me to the real love of my life: directing and writing. I’m especially drawn to stories with a fantastical or historical element. And I love a dark comedy.

Now on to the obligatory blurb of boasting: I was one of the winners of the Netflix New Voices Script Contest and a semi-finalist in The Academy’s Nicholl Fellowship. My short Always & Forever was bought by Disney+ and screened before Sentimental Value and Bruce Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere in film theaters across the Netherlands. My first short film Other was nominated for a Méliès d’Argent at Imagine Film Festival. My recent short film Everything Before Us was selected for Dutch Film Talents to Cannes while my short The Malthus Law was selected for CineSud’s Directors Village and Imagine’s Fantastic Talents and is currently in post production. I also directed the NPO Z@pp pilot Robby de Neuro as well as commercials for clients such as Playmobil and booking.com and Albert Heijn.
