Hi everyone,
it's been a while. Today, I've updated some small things on my Stage 32 profile. Due to a ‘temporary’ job (I got stuck in) and enrolling in a Master of Science programme, I have not been able to do anything creative for about two years!
Before, I was working (freelance) as a CamOp and cinematographer (and occasionally as director). Mainly shooting TVC's, Music Videos, the occasional documentary and short film, etc.
In those two years of 'being away from creativity', I've come to learn one thing:
I was born for filmmaking. I've tried various other things throughout my life, but I always come back to this. No matter what road I take. This. Is. It.
So... with a lot pleasure and excitement, I can tell you that during the summer I've written two short screenplays. One needs a bit more work, one is finished.
There's another short screenplay written by someone else that I can turn into a short film as well.
And that's exactly what I'm going to do. I’m going to direct these three shorts and re-connect with my creative side. A creative LIFE!
Some freelance (photography and CamOp) work has come my way again as well, and as you can imagine, I’ve gladly accepted them.
So, here’s to all the creatives here on Stage 32. If you’re like me. Don’t give in. Continue down this road. Write, make ,create whatever you can. And live a creative life.
Cheers,
Jaap
