It’s been around six years since I entered the video making business. Starting as a documentary director for media foundation lokaalmondiaal, I traveled the world, making video productions for clients like BBC World, MTV and non-profit organizations. Subjects ranged from poverty, climate change and human rights to cooking and sports.

About a year ago I went freelance, a decision I have not regretted since. One key thing that has changed is that I turned from just filmmaking to a more multimedia approach. As a particular example I’d like to draw your attention to a project I’ve been participating in, called Disputed Waters. I believe that this way of storytelling, combining video, photography and text, presented in an interactive form, has a great future ahead. Especially given the en masse turn of traditional media toward innovative and web-based initiatives for their output.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy reading through my posts. I’m not a real blog addict, as you might have noticed, but I try to update my site on a regular basis.
