remarks
In terms of themes that I focus on and what I write about, what I contribute to or what I produce can be seen as controversial. I like to do something with language: a different or secret language, poetry, double meanings. What I do the most is that I do something different than usual.

trackrecord
For Jij bent van mij (2016) we made a trailer, in which audiovisual images are combined with photos. Repulsive (2017) is an in memoriam for my grandmother, with whom I made my debut as a director and bring her back from the dead in this film. The film received 14 nominations and 12 awards worldwide at film festivals. So far my soul (2018) is a short film with one visible main character. While shooting in a style reminiscent of paintings by Vermeer, we show the emptiness of social media and its outward appearance. 10 + 18 = 1 (2018) is also a short film with one visible main character. The boy has traumatic experiences and has 28 personalities, each of which has its own story.
