Last year, we set out to try something new with our short film āVerloren Talentā.
@sonbaco and @aliceeefting adapted a screenplay with the aim of filming a single scene, challenging both themselves and their acting abilities.
We approached the project as a valuable learning experience. To push ourselves creatively, @justinwismeijer and @robinskie99 chose to shoot the entire film in two continuous long takes. Each one focused on a different character, capturing the emotional depth and the dynamic between them.
You can watch the full film via the link in our bio.
A special thank you to our small but wonderful crew:

Hereās a 30-second slice from a short film I initiated to build richer material as an actor. Instead of the plain old self-tape, I wanted a fully shot, and edited scene that could have come straight out of a film scripted, lit, scored, and cut like the real thing. Written by me & @aliceeefting š„
Endless thanks to the team who made this possible š

Koud water is genomineerd voor Beste Debuutfilm binnen de Debuutcompetitie van het Nederlands Film Festival 2025.
De quote van het NFF bij de bekendmaking:
"Koud Water weet in korte tijd een groot verhaal te vertellen. Met een sterke hoofdrol, geloofwaardige bijrollen en zorgvuldig gekozen beelden weet Koud Water spanning en emotie te balanceren."
We zijn een beetje sprakeloosā¦
Blijkbaar hebben we een snaar geraakt.
Het verhaal, dit team, de tijd en energie die we er met zān allen in hebben gestokenā¦
Ongelofelijk.
Kom kijken!
Felicitaties ook aan de medegenomineerden en makers van Fuck-a-Fan en Mannenmelk.
We zien jullie in Utrecht!

What an incredible journey it has been filming Koud Water. This marks the last day of shooting, and my heart is full of gratitude for everyone who made this possible starting with @nakedheartsfilm
A special thank you to @aayegal and @sander.roux who poured their hearts into this project from the very beginning. Iām so grateful to have shared this journey with all of you.
This short film has been a labor of love, and none of this wouldāve been possible without this team. I can't wait for next year when this is finally out!
SHOWREEL 2023! š„š„š„
Finally, I can proudly showcase my new showreel of the last projects I did this year. It's a short video showing different clips of me as an actor.
Thank you all who made this possible and granted me the opportunity to work. All the love! You know who you are. š
See you in 2024 š¬

This year I had the opportunity to work in London for a Short film called BOUNDARY. And what an eye-opening experience. I had an amazing time with the wonderful director @tongreshane and my scene partner @bonniewaack . Together we brought this story to life.
BOUNDARY has received an honourable mention at the Student World Impact Film Festival and has been selected for the Metropolis Film Festival and Lift-off Film Festival to name a few! š„š„š„
A great moment to start 2023 with and I can't wait for people to see it. Thank you for the wonderful crew that made this all possible šš¼
