VIDEOGRAPHY
I've dabbled in different creative fields, but filmmaking was something that decidedly stood out to me because it is such a powerful, multifaceted medium for immersing into certain stories or other perspectives. I think therein my drive (along with any other visual communications that I do) is my desire to connect, and my intrigue towards different perspectives, stories and emotions. You can find a selection of my work on this page.

'MASTERPLAN' | SPOOF/COMEDY | 2023
'Masterplan' was a personal project: each year there is a Dutch holiday ('Sinterklaas') where -similar to secret santa- you get a gift for a friend/family/whomever you're celebrating with, but traditionally for the Dutch one, you make something called a 'suprise'. This is usually a poem, or sometimes a scavenger hunt or a crafted thing. Me and my friends have taken this concept and taken it to 'higher levels'; through the years we have made songs, videos, animations and live performances for each other. The video 'Masterplan' is what I made for my friend Jan. Albeit filled with inside jokes that may not all be understood from an outsider perspective, it's a great showcase of what I can/want to do with creative freedom. It was a thoroughly enjoyable project, and the first time I made music and wrote a rap song.
