For a while JUDITH thought that she wanted to become a film critic. Until she discovered she wasn’t nowhere near critical when watching movies. So that plan had to be discarded. Luckily, she had a special experience during her bachelor year studying film at the University of Amsterdam. Like a calling from the heavens, she all of a sudden knew exactly how she wanted to tell a story and make a film. It ignited a spark, which made her go to the Netherlands Film Academie once she got her masters degree in film.

Having graduated in 2021, she now loves to make films that picture reality by being, uh, a bit off from reality. That being said, realistic drama also still lights the fire in her. Especially when there is a chance to bring a surprising insight to a character across, to tell the story behind the character and create sympathy for the bad guy by showing the different layers that hide within. But now don’t think she would have been better off becoming a serious psychiatrist or something. For sometimes life is also just plain simple about a good horror movie or a board game. Oh, and, of course, cake. Because since there is always a reason to celebrate something or the other, there is also always a reason for cake.
