This is a video clip I directed just before departing for Africa, it has recently been released so I can share it with you. It was shot in club Prime in Amsterdam on the HPX300 and PS Technik MiniC combo. Operated by Gregg Telussa, he did a great job as usual! Language is Dutch but please tell me how you like the image!

And this year I was directing for the VPRO. The above picture is me and my crew; Daan Nieuwenhuis (camera) and Gijs Stollman (sound) relaxing after some hard field work. My job was to portrait the festival and it’s visitors and show what was happening beside the music. A great job with a great crew! We had our own golf car and had a great time working together! Take a look at the gallery for some shots.

Kenya to be axact, 8 days of shooting for a short documentary. Our mission was to show how people live in Nairobi, thru the eyes of a European; Leon van der Zanden. We went to an orphanage, children’s hospital, slums, a dance school and finally to the Sawa Sawa Festival featuring Beef and Black Uhuru. The festival is organised by the Sarakasi trust. And it is very impressive to see what they have accomplished in Nairobi Kenya over the past few years. Rudy van Dijck (Chairman & Founder) is an amazing person whom has inspired and helped alot of young people.

I just came back from this trip and a lot of different things come to mind when I try to describe the trip. It was heartbreaking, thrilling, exciting and moving. I know that we have mostly seen what goes wrong in Kenya so my view of the country is somewhat tainted but there is much work to be done before Kenya gets what it deserves. It’s a beautiful country with beautiful people.

The documentary will be online next week and it will be showing at Festival Mundial wich is held in Tilburg on the 13th, 14th and 15th of June. I am looking forward to going back next year and show you guys more!

This is a music video I shot for De Jeugd van Tegenwoordig. A dutch group, it’s about 2 years ago now and while cleaning out our server we came across this clip. Just thought I’d share it with you. It was shot very low budget on a Sony PD-170 with a mini 35 adapter.
