Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
I'm making low budget films all over the planet.
ABOUT ME
My ambition is to making low budget films over the planet. At the moment I'm finishing on a documentary of Phill Niblock, one of the pioneers of the sixties New York scene; and I'm preparing a film about Peter Giele; one of the prominent figures in the collective memory of the Netherlands.
I'm a graduated filmdirector, RITS Brussels; at the moment I'm doing my PhD about home videos within our memory culture.
I'm coming from Ravels, a little town above Turnhout (Belgium)
