Originally from a designer background, Jonathan started his career as a director in 2000 when he and some friends produced their own short Dutch horror film out of love for the genre. Having no prior film-education other than endless passion for films and the filmmaking process, Jonathan started to take on small commercial projects and learning the tricks of the trade through the professionals he worked with and through his own vision of what he would love to see get made.
Since then Jonathan has worked on numerous commercials, music videos, short films, animation projects and computer games.

Jonathan has a natural understanding of how get the best out of people and how to create an exciting and fast moving atmosphere on set.
He is not afraid to push both the client and the crew to go for that little bit extra that will make the production stand out.
His extensive experience working as a professional editor and working with animation, motion capture and special effects has made him aware of both the pitfalls and the potentials that these technologies bring and so he is not afraid to use them to create a new and unique visual language.

After years of working on the cutting edge of computer game cutscenes, animation and game-marketing Jonathan is now returning to his live action filmmaking roots. His vision for the future is clear: keep on working from the heart together with passionate and creative professionals and inspire eachother to create films that are innovative, provocative, fresh and original.
