Last year I had the pleasure of making a youth documentary about Keet Oldenbeuving. Getting to know her, skate with her and watch her grow was, simply put, amazing. Keet was the coolest kid ever to film, and I even got her to fall into a bath of pink muck. But I think the best times for both of us were just going out skating around and filming whatever we came across.  

​Now after being shown at Cinekid, IDFA and the Berlinale, it's time for SkateKeet to shine on your television. SkateKeet will be on Zapp (NPO 3) on Sunday the 6th of March at 19:25.

Hope you enjoy watching it as much as I enjoyed making it!

Synopsis:
Skatekeet is a documentary about Keet, a ten-year-old girl, whose skateboard skills have attracted attention in a skate world dominated by boys. Besides getting respect from her fellow skaters she also encounters lack of understanding from others. Keet glides through a world of pre-conceived opinions on how girls should be, while carving out her own path.

My film Vogel Vrij (English title 'Bird Strike') will be broadcast by VARA on NPO 3 sunday the 14th of February at 23:40. 

Synopsis: In Bird Strike, we see how man and animal must share the air space and the resulting consequences. In this visual story different characters struggle with their curious relationship with unpredictable flying troublemakers. Will man manage to get his own way, or will nature have the final say in this battle for the skies?

This documentary has been breeding in my head since 2010, but last year with much help from Willem Baptist and Nienke Korthof it was accepted for realization by VARA. The production was one hell of a turbulent flight (pun intended) but in the end I am proud of the result. I hope you watch it and enjoy it!
