Video concepts
From music videos and campaign films to programme formats: I develop concepts that fit the brand, message and audience. From the first idea to a fully developed script.
Filming (ENG)
Reports, music productions and school projects. Hands-on, with a sharp eye for image and atmosphere. I work both solo and as part of a larger crew.
Script & direction
My strongest area is music videos: from script to set, from casting to the final result. I also have experience co-directing campaign productions for larger clients.
Editing & post-production
From raw footage to a polished final result. I edit myself and work with specialists for colour, sound and Dolby Atmos mastering.
Live recording
Concerts, events and backstage. Capturing the atmosphere as it happens, from solo ENG to multicamera recordings for broadcast and social media.
Education & workshops
Introducing pupils, students and teams to film, from script to premiere. For several years now, including at Montessori Van Lith.
For larger projects
I work with a trusted network of specialists: camera operators, gaffers, audio engineers, composers, voice-over artists, actors and Dolby Atmos mixing & mastering engineers. This lets me scale up without compromising on quality or collaboration.

Develop and make a film together with a class or team
For the third year running, I am guiding Year 6 at Montessori Van Lith through a complete film production: from the first idea to a real premiere. Not a workshop with a bag of popcorn at the end, but a real production that pupils, teachers and parents can be proud of.
