My documentary works are most often about people and the unseen forces that move through their lives. Through themes of intimacy, spirituality, and personal transformation, I invite the viewer to step into the perspective of another — to consider how someone else experiences and relates to the world.
For these films, I play the role of conceptor, producer, director, cameraman, and editor.

F*cking With the Gods (trailer)
In his 2019 solo exhibition (co-produced with Ceven J. Knowles), artist Daan van Kampenhout explored the meeting point between ancient archetypes and modern identity by posing the question: What would happen if the old pagan gods arrived in contemporary Berlin and went out for a night of clubbing?
This documentary follows the unfolding of that vision — from early planning and costume creation to the fashion show vernissage and final moments of the exhibition. Along the way, we learn about the gods and the evolution of Daan’s work and vision. It is both a portrait of the artist and a reflection on how the sacred continues to shape the present.
