About Me

CURRENT MISSION

developing my own small filming company

ABOUT ME

I really love people. In my job (social work) I like to help people exploring there talents and skills, to encourage them to have trust in thereselfs. .
Besides my socialwork job I started te make movies, documnetaries, portrets. This is a passion which is growing further and further.
I love to travel, meet other people and learn about different ways of life.

PHILOSOPHY

be positive. If you want something...go for it and you will get it. Or you will just find out that you do not really want it or need it. Or like someone I met told me, the famous sentence " it is not about the destination but about the journey"
