Through my lens
Here you can browse my film and photography portfolio; spanning trailers, short fiction, music video and documentary.
Short Fiction Films
Every year, my friends and I take the Dutch ‘surprise’ tradition several steps further — building it into short films, songs, games, performances, and challenges for one another. Each year I draw a friends’ name and create a short film aimed at ‘burning’ them. Of course that makes it a funny project, but these films have given me total creative freedom to explore cinematography, acting and making music. This is a showcase of my favourite creations.

Stukjes Glas
A film for USVA Theatre, featuring house poet Femke de Heer, performing her work ‘Er zitten stukjes glas tussen de tanden van het excelbestand’ — a sharp and tender poem about government cuts to higher education.
Wanderlust
Wanderlust is a poetic concert created by Philipp Cahrpit about coming home within ourselves and each other. Together with Philipp we captured his expressive and intimate one-man performance.
Waterlichamen
The week before the première of ‘Waterlichamen,’ I follow performers Cahrpit, Jonker and Persoon as they search for playful bridges between self, other, and environment. A documentary about their process — and about what it means to let the individual body dissolve into a collective one. ‘Last summer I met a group of people on the shore, and as we played at the boundary between land and sea I shed tears of happiness. “This is what life is about,” I thought. Do we not need this playful connecting as much as the water we drink? As we were playing on the beach I forgot about myself and became part of a collective. I let go of ‘me’ and streamed into the other.’– Philipp Cahrpit
Barry Hakblok
Barry Hakblok is a rap alter-ego of an up and coming artist from Groningen: an expressive artist switching between unserious to meaningful subjects over bass-heavy beats. I have worked with Barry to shoot his artist profile images and his music videos, the latest release has been ‘Leugenaar’. More will follow soon.

Club Wauw
Club Wauw is a Groningen theatre collective by makers and performers Philipp Cahrpit & Hannegijs Jonker, creating performances for the very youngest audiences (0–6 years).
I worked with Club Wauw to create trailers for the performances Tent and Stilte, it was an absolute pleasure trying to capture the authentic, genuine interactions and reactions of the children they entertain and inspire.

In a multimedia dance performance, choreographer Mohamed Yusuf Boss unfolds the fragmented self — exploring bi-cultural identity through movement, memory, and community. For a year leading up to the première, I worked closely with the dance collective as social media manager, creating the teaser and working as production assistant.
