Script Development
Parallel to my work as a director and assistant director, I also collaborate as a writer and support other writers in their development processes on both national and international projects. Writing is, next to directing, the most fulfilling aspect of filmmaking for me, in the way it involves giving structure to elusive ideas, while allowing for wide scope of experimentation with both narrative and non-narrative forms.
