Square 2014
It’s the fourth time I was part of the so called Square Journaal (translation: Square News). Last year we made a short movie. This year we made a parody of a pastor who wants to take over Square and turn it into a perfect…

Johan Derksen
Exactly a month ago I directed the tenth episode of talkshow event Bolder75. It was a great evening for a number of reasons, not the least because of the present of Johan Derksen. He’s a well known and very popular Dutch…
Talkshow-in-a-church
Regular readers of this blog know I’m involved with Bolder75. It’s a talkshow-in-a-church concept which we developed and produced ourselves. It was quite a challenge to find out what set we needed, how and where the guests should sit, where to…
Talkshow event Bolder75
Earlier this month, I directed the fifth episode of talkshow event Bolder75. One of our Bethel editors created this short but great compilation (see video above). You’ll see excerpts of Renze Klamer (the host) and his guests (Fajah Lourens, Foppe de Haan, Jan Slagter and Otto de…

Look for the differences… part two
Let’s do another one. Look for the differences between this video and this video (start the second video at 11.29 min). The intro of the first clip feels much faster, which prompted me to count the number of shots. Surprisingly,…
Start off with a bang
Sometimes, it’s good to start off with a bang… which is exactly what we did a couple of days ago. We started our Christmas Eve specials (four in total) with drums and a spectacular dance. For those interested, compare this…
It’s that time of the year again…
It’s the second year I have the opportunity of being director of the Christmas Eve specials at VBG Bethel Drachten. Last time, everything was new for me (watch it here). This time, I kinda know what’s coming. And it helps we…
