Graduating in Amsterdam - July 2005

Weeks pass by really quickly. Just a blink and there goes another year. Quite scary really. I went to Amsterdam Filmschool in August 2001 and went studying for producing. www.filmacademie.nl is their website. 4 Years later in July 2005 I graduated as an executive producer with my Finalexam-Films. 4 Years pass by pretty quickly as well and I had a good time. Filmmaking is addictive and there´s nothing like it. I cannot describe how it feels to be in that process. That you´re standing on a cold early sundaymorning somewhere in the middle of nowhere with a young filmcrew struggling to make the film everybody dreamt of. Really weird and cool.

During my studies I have always worked next it. A couple of years in a videostore, a lot on filmsets and now since Octobre 2004 I started working at a international travellers emergency call centre in Amsterdam. I work here now fulltime for the coming months to get my budget for my next trip. It´s working in a relaxed atmosphere and I talk with a lot of travellers and people who are going to travel and need a travel-insurance or who are in a emergency situation. My contract ends November 11th 2005.
