I made my first film at the age of eight. After studying film in Scotland and India, I started working independently in Amsterdam. From my studio in the east of the city, I create documentaries, fiction films, installation art, and write prose and opinion pieces. I enjoy making work with and about communities. Another recurring theme in my work is the relationship between human and non-human nature. To deepen my understanding of this, I pursued a master’s degree in Environment and Resource Management at the Vrije Universiteit. I teach film classes at VU Griffioen and give writing workshops at Buitenkunst, where I explore how to push the boundaries of the medium.
For Explore the North, I created Undercurrent together with sound artist Tristan Visser and writer Amarylis de Gryse. This installation consists of a post-apocalyptic underwater dome as a solution to future above-ground housing shortages.
For the documentary In the Right Place, I followed a volunteer in a Greek refugee camp for two years and documented his journey back to mainland Europe. In the Right Place was broadcast on NPO Doc.
In the interactive film Grandfather's Century, I interview my fictional grandfather, one hundred years from now. The viewer determines the course of the story, with different plotlines unfolding into various end scenarios. With Grandfather's Century, I won the award for Best Film by a Young Director at the BNP Paribas Green Film Festival.
Together with Annick Sickinghe, I made LATER. The film explores the long-term mental and physical effects of cancer at a young age. LATER is available to rent online.
I live in De Warren, a housing cooperative that arose when a group of friends sought an affordable and socially driven solution to the housing market. This led to the documentary Living Together: The Story of De Warren. Living Together is screening in cinemas, at international festivals, and is available on VOD. I am working on a sequel with Annick Sickinghe.
In 2024, I began writing prose and opinion pieces. I took part in the Das Mag Summer Camp and am currently working on a novel about the sailing trip I took with my parents when I was eight years old.
