Dutch DJ Jay Hardway's music video Stardust, was shot in California. Silver Spirit Pictures was hired to do production on location, including location scouting and casting the little boy who plays the lead role. Stardust had 50.000 hits on Youtube within the first 2 hours of release, and we are now approaching 5 million hits. Shot with the Sony FS7 in 4k in LA and Santa Barbara.
I was hired as the local producer for the trailer of the horror film "The Shadow". Shot in 8K with the Arriflex and Anamorphic lenses. We took care of permits, insurance, locations and various other tasks.
During 2 seasons I produced/directed/sold 20 episodes of the successful TV series Ranking The Cars for Veronica TV, a national network in Europe. This lifestyle/reality show is about the owners of classic and rare cars. All filmed on location in Hollywood, Las Vegas and Amsterdam. Veronica TV scheduled the show just after Top Gear, but we often managed to get higher ratings than the BBC hitshow! We also developed the format and sold it directly to the TV channel.
I am proud to have worked with the talented artist Mauricio Saravia for the short film "Frames". We filmed it in Hollywood and used one of his poems as an inspiration for this short. Sadly Mauricio passed away a few months after the filming and he never got to see the final result. We made this film from script to final cut, and filmed it with the Sony Z7.
This is the trailer for my feature length documentary about Colonel Parker, Elvis' manager. We shot it in Las Vegas, the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. This documentary had a theatrical premiere and also aired on Dutch National TV on the 100th birthday of the Colonel. It received high acclaim in many national newspapers for showing a different, much more positive side of the most legendary and innovative showbizz manager ever. I directed and produced this documentary and sold it to Veronica TV.
This is one of the most impressive cars we encountered for Ranking the Cars. This custom made bugatti is part of the collection of the owner of the Bijan store in Beverly Hills.
During 2013-2015 I directed many episodes for the travel show Tracks & Trails, airing on RTL and SBS. This is a promo for the Lapland episode, directed and edited by us. We filmed in +10 countries, such as Norway, Sweden, Portugal, Ireland, Swiss, etc.

We arranged permits for locations, props and also supplied some of our equipment! This music video was shot with the sony FS7 in 4K.

In 2022 it ended up in the semifinals of the Central Coast Exposition Showcase.
Another show we work on regularly is Scoop, about showbizz news from Hollywood, again for our partner fcce.tv, in Europe. We film the red carpets and record video feeds during the Golden Globes, the Oscars and many other film premieres.
