ABOUT
In 2023, I graduated with a Master of Arts degree in Film Directing at the Edinburgh College of Art, earning a distinction. I specialize in telling stories in a light-hearted, intimate, poetical, and thoughtful manner. My goal is to share stories about people that deserve more attention in our complex world.
In 2019, I graduated in Audiovisual Media from the HKU - University of the Arts Utrecht in the Netherlands, specializing in documentary filmmaking. Some of the highlights from my time there include my second-year film, 'The Art of Life' (2017), which was screened at the Go Short - International Short Film Festival '18 in the Go Ahead program, as well as my internship in TV program development and work experience in Uganda.
Between 2019 and 2022, I gained work experience as a researcher and director in the Dutch creative industry, for Dutch public broadcast and branded content. In 2021, I received a fund from the Go Short - International Short Film Festival after winning the Gelderland Film Pitch 3. This allowed me to realize my personal film plan about unconditional love and grief (Synchronous, 2022).
In September 2022, I started my one-year master's in Film Directing at the Edinburgh College of Art after receiving four scholarships. The course helped me focus on developing my visual style and voice as a director, with Emma Davie and Ling Lee as my tutors. Besides that, I was nominated as a class representative, which developed my communication skills over the year. My short documentary item Four Phonecalls of Anxiety was part of the Summer Showcase for the Voice Magazine UK and screened at the Scottish Mental Health Arts Festival. My master's graduation documentary Luna in Wonderland premiered at the Netherlands Film Festival (NFF) and will be screened several times at festivals in the UK.
Currently, I am in the pre-production of a short documentary (25') for the EO (Interakt Productions) for the Teledoc Campus traject. Besides that, I am working on new ideas and freelance jobs as researcher, writer, director and editor-in-chief in film, television and branded content.
