A short film (in Dutch) about an identity crisis.

Milk!

Milk!

Documentary - Artcollege St. Joost, 2008, MiniDV

A short documentary about a goat farm, depicting the contradistinction between the romantic image we have about farms and the brutal way the goats are sucked dry to provide us our milk.

Scared Hairless

Scared Hairless

Fiction - Artcollege St. Joost, 2008, MiniDV

We had to make a short film where the keyword was suspense. Although I'm still not completely sure whether we managed or not, the result is a very amusing little short.

Portrait Sander

A portrait of Sander

Documentary - Artcollege St. Joost, 2008, MiniDV

I made a small portrait of my brother Sander. It's a mockumentary, poking fun at my brother's tendency to play too many videogames.

Compositions

Compositions

Fiction - Artcollege St. Joost, 2008, MiniDV

We tried different ways of framing a shot. There is no real narrative in this story, just two guys meeting up in a shopping mall.

Ben

A day in the life of Ben, a socially defective person who is struggling to survive in our fast-paced, unforgiving society. His best friend is his Action Man doll.

The Elevator

The Elevator

Fiction - Artcollege St. Joost, 2008, MiniDV

Taking the elevator instead of the stairs may not always be the healthiest choice, especially when there's a psychopath in that same elevator.

Loneliness

Loneliness

Fiction - Artcollege St. Joost, 2008, MiniDV

A poetic short about a boy who is feeling very lonely, unable to relate to anyone he knows.
