Since 2009 I work as a freelance filmmaker in the broadest sense, wearing multiple hats as director, cameraman, editor and producer. I love shaping ideas into visual stories and collaborating closely with clients and crews. My work spans concerts, documentaries and arts projects, from short musician portraits for the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra to films like Playing the Changes and Art Brut Biennale. I bring hands-on shooting, editing and production skills and a collaborative spirit to every project.
