interview

This spring I filmed a short portrait documentary of Rob van Hattum, Film director for Science Programs at VPRO Broadcasting Company and Creative Director at NEMO science center in Amsterdam.

This short version was made as an assignment for the Art Academy I'm currently enrolled in. There are still plans to make a longer version of the portrait, though due to lack of time available for such an undertaking this summer and other opportunities presenting themselves, the project will be pushed back. I have no insight yet as to when I'll have time for it.

It was a one man operation start to finish. I did the research, filmed, edited and created the opening/endcredits & theme. With the kind permission of the VPRO and the wonderful co-operation of Mr. van Hattum, here now is the final result of my efforts. Unfortunately it is in Dutch, English subtitles are still on my to-do list. Please enjoy it here.

I'm currently preparing for production of a portrait of Rob van Hattum, Film director for Science Programs at VPRO Broadcasting Company and Creative Director at NEMO science center in Amsterdam. I will be directing, filming and editing.

The initial portrait will be short, as it is an assignment from AKV St. Joost Art Academy, which I attend as a film major. I plan to produce a longer version over the summer.

Rob van Hattum has been instrumental in getting serious science on Dutch television for many years and has created -among many other TV and radio programs- Noorderlicht, a TV programme akin to BBC's Horizon. The short film is expected to be completed in early summer 2010.
