ask me for
Mijn kracht ligt bij Conceptontwikkeling voor Documentaire films en Experimentele video kunst. Graag wil ik hierin verder doorgroeien in de vorm van samenwerking en in opdracht. Mijn kracht ligt bij thema's rondom archivering, mediaarchiologie en de rol van film en media in het huidige tijdperk.

remarks
Practical properties : My unique properties lie in my ability to acquire subjects for documentaries where intimacies can be exposed.
