BIOGRAPHIE

His third-year film Splitting (2022), a hang-out/screwball comedy film about class difference, was selected at Go Short International Film Festival and ShortCutz Amsterdam in 2023. His short slice-of-life film Suni (2022) - co-directed by Rosa Kreulen - about street harassment premiered at the Netherlands Film Festival and became one of the first short films in Dutch film history to receive a theatrical release.
