Hello all and everyone,

My name is Ellev and I grew up in Amsterdam; lucky me! We have a good life there meeeen weed and women y'all. No effe serious now. Just kidding around (Amsterdam is in fact a very nice place to live but not particularly for those exact reasons), this whole thing about writing something about yourself is really hard I think.
So in all seriousness a little something about myself: I'm specialising in visual anthropology and eventually I would like to make documentaries. I love to dance and hangout in the oldest cinema of Amsterdam (which is run by my best friend!)
