From FASCINATION to FILM: learn to make your own personal mini-documentary film
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Find your fascinationYou love writing and are full of ideas. You are curious about telling stories with images, words and music or making films. But how do you start? What themes would you like to make a film about? In this workshop you will get to know yourself and your fascination: the basis of the journey of discovery into who you are as a filmmaker.
Find your story
The first steps in getting to know yourself as a storyteller have been taken. Maybe you would like to interview others or make a film about animals. Yet you have to delve a layer deeper into the world of your story before you can take a step outside. Everyone has their own story, but how do you go from your fascinations to finding your story?
Find your form
You start to see the world more and more through the eyes of a filmmaker. You have an idea of your fascinations and story, but how do you make the transition to film? In this lesson I will take you through the rich possibilities to tell your story. There are no boundaries in shapes. Do you dare to take a deep-sea dive or experience the magic of film?
Find your movie
Every great filmmaker started experimenting at some point. In this workshop we will make our own 1-minute documentary film. You learn to sit in the director's seat, dive into the world of editing and leave with your own film. From fascination to film: you did it!

Experience / Qualifications
Translated by Google. Click to view original.
n 2023, I graduated with a Master of Arts degree in Film Directing at the Edinburgh College of Art, earning a distinction. I specialize in telling stories in a light-hearted, intimate, poetical, and thoughtful manner. My goal is to share stories about people that deserve more attention in our complex world.In 2019, I graduated in Audiovisual Media from the HKU - University of the Arts Utrecht in the Netherlands, specializing in documentary filmmaking. Some of the highlights from my time there include my second-year film, 'The Art of Life' (2017), which was screened at the Go Short - International Short Film Festival '18 in the Go Ahead program, as well as my internship in TV program development and work experience in Uganda.
Between 2019 and 2022, I gained work experience as a researcher and director in the Dutch creative industry, for Dutch public broadcast and branded content. In 2021, I received a fund from the Go Short - International Short Film Festival after winning the Gelderland Film Pitch 3. This allowed me to realize my personal film plan about unconditional love and grief (Synchronous, 2022).
In September 2022, I started my one-year master's in Film Directing at the Edinburgh College of Art after receiving four scholarships. The course helped me focus on developing my visual style and voice as a director, with Emma Davie and Ling Lee as my tutors. Besides that, I was nominated as a class representative, which developed my communication skills over the year. My documentary item, 'Four Phonecalls of Anxiety' (2022), was runner-up in the Voice Magazine UK contest of the Summer Showcase. My graduation documentary 'Luna in Wonderland' (2023) is in distribution. Currently, I am working freelance in researching, concept development, directing and editing.

Creative Writing for Advanced Writers! Refine Your Story and Let Your Voice Be Heard!Writing is an individual and vulnerable process. When we creatively write, we are telling stories, and the effectiveness of each sentence affects how readers interpret our stories and us as writers. I know better than anyone how vulnerable it can be to share your writing. I also have an intimate understanding of the technical writing skills required to keep readers engaged and to get published.
In this class, you'll learn how to:
-Structure stories and paragraphs with appropriate beats and pacing.
-Build complex, fully realized characters.
-Write engaging, realistic dialogue in novel or screenwriting format.
-Hook readers to the page using pacing techniques and red herrings.
I can provide story and character consultation and feedback on your current projects.
This is an advanced class. Please do not sign up for this class unless you have experience in creative writing. This may be a good class for a writer who has just finished their first novel and is looking for advice on editing and story consultation. It also may be a good opportunity for writers who have finished novels or scripts and are looking for advice on a new project. I also offer beginner and intermediate creative writing classes
I am a published author and produced screenwriter. Don't miss your chance to take one of my classes. You and your writing skills won't regret it.

✅IMPROVISATION, CREATIVITY, PUBLIC SPEAKING, COMMUNICATION, THEATRALIZATION: A WHOLE SUBTLE UNIVERSE TO EXPLORE (THE ART OF STORYTELLING...)✓ Improvisation is the art of composing within the framework of a role play, without being overplayed so as not to lose credibility, by taking pleasure and appearing convinced (because communication does not consist, for example, of having confidence, but of appearing confident). It helps with a wide range of skills (imagination, emotional faculties, physical expressiveness, vocal projection, clarity of speech, interpretation, improvisation, observation, emulation, stage combat...) to make public speaking, communication , the theatricalization enhanced by the stage space and the play of the actor - improviser.
✓ Your inventiveness, singularity, commitment and signature being at the center of this training, it is about giving you the techniques to improvise, create, stage, while showing confidence and conviction to your interlocutors, in the private sphere or of the professional.
✓ So how can you also confront your shyness or lack of (relative) self-confidence by surpassing yourself by moving forward?
➤ Express yourself with your body, your emotions, your ideas to mobilize your abilities and your creative energy
➤ Explore your path to personal expression in complete freedom and security by overcoming your fears of expressing yourself in public
➤ Activate flexibility of mind, particularly by practicing active listening
➤ Develop your creativity and imagination while overcoming your shyness, developing your speaking, listening and responding skills
➤ Anchor lasting resources such as letting go, leaving one's comfort zone thanks to a caring framework and personalized modules/exercises
In application: For example, awareness raising and introduction to the Art of Storytelling have several objectives: Storytelling in public, Composing a repertoire of stories, Organizing a collective show, Games and bringing emotions into play (...). These theoretical training and practical training sessions (story structure, voice, memory, diction, management of stage fright, etc.).
It is a question of going through the history of the tale (origin, different styles of tale, difference between tale and story), the art of telling (work on the voice, the body, the imagination), the tale and the child (importance of the story for the overall development of the child, resource of the imagination, difference between reading and telling) ...: in short, the intention of this course is to make you want even more, to better tell stories
Open to all those interested in the story (parents, teachers, animators, educators ...), these sessions can also be offered to the person of your choice.
With the program, for this example of storytelling art in particular:
✓ Explore and experience the art of storytelling and discover its hidden sides
✓ Express yourself with your body, your emotions, your ideas, play with situations (...)
✓ Mobilize your capacities and creative energy
✓ Open interior spaces of reverie
✓ Explore your path of personal expression in complete freedom and security
✓ Overcome your fear of public speaking
✓ Make room for your imagination, Develop your creativity
✓ Activate flexibility of mind, Practice active listening
✓ Cooperate, create, play down
The art of storytelling therefore allows you to develop your creativity and imagination, because you are both a director and an actor. It also allows you to overcome shyness and develop speaking, listening and responding skills. Each person evolves at their own pace and uses their sense of creativity.
Objective: to anchor sustainable resources such as letting go, creativity, presence or self-confidence. In short, this artistic discipline will accompany you in your personal development and will help you get out of your comfort zone thanks to a benevolent environment and playful exercises.
