A Few Common Questions
A few practical answers about working together.
Directing & Production
-
I specialise in artist documentaries, tour films, concert films, and live performance recordings.
For documentaries, I can get involved from the initial concept through directing and editing. For concert films and performance recordings, my focus is on creative direction and post-production, helping turn recorded performances into engaging films that capture the music and atmosphere.
-
I focus on creative development and directing, not production logistics. I can join your existing team or collaborate with production companies that handle crew, locations, scheduling, and other practical arrangements.
-
Absolutely. I've spent years travelling with artists, documenting performances, backstage moments, and life on the road. That experience led to two feature-length documentaries about Hardwell.
Whether you're planning a film around an upcoming tour, a career milestone, or a more personal story, I can help develop the concept, direct the documentary, and bring everything together in the edit.
-
Yes. I work on concert films, orchestral performances, and live music recordings, primarily through creative direction and editing.
I don't direct the live multi-camera recording or broadcast itself. Instead, I can collaborate with your existing production team on the creative approach and help shape the recorded footage into a finished film afterwards.
That might be a complete concert film, individual song performances, or shorter content for an artist's release campaign.
-
Of course. You don't need to involve me in the original filming to work with me.
I regularly work with existing footage, from multi-camera concerts and orchestral performances to documentaries and behind-the-scenes material.
My role is to find the right structure, pacing, and visual storytelling to bring the footage together into a film that feels engaging and true to the music.
Working Together
-
Absolutely. I regularly collaborate with artists, managers, record labels, directors, and production companies.
If you already have a production or broadcast team, I can work alongside them in a creative or editorial role. For artist documentaries, I can also take on directing responsibilities.
The exact collaboration depends on your project and which parts of the filmmaking process you need help with.
-
Every project is different. A feature-length documentary following an artist on tour requires a different approach from editing a concert that's already been recorded.
My quote depends on the scope of work, creative involvement, amount of footage, editing requirements, and intended deliverables.
Once I understand what you're planning, we can discuss the most suitable approach, budget, and timeline.
-
Before starting, we'll agree on the scope, review process, and final deliverables. If you need additional formats, raw footage, or editable project files, let me know upfront.
-
A 50% deposit is required before work begins. The remaining 50% is invoiced once the agreed deliverables are completed and transferred. Payment is due within 7 days of the invoice date.
-
You don't need a finished concept or detailed brief to get in touch.
A short introduction to the artist and what you're hoping to create is a great starting point. If you already have performance footage, a tour schedule, creative references, or an approximate budget, feel free to share those too.
I'll personally review your enquiry and get back to you within 1–2 business days.
Project breakdowns
HAEVN: Symphonic Tales
Director & Editor
55M+ views. 300K+ new YouTube subscribers.
The brief
HAEVN’s music already carries a cinematic weight. The challenge was to turn that into a series of online films worth watching and sharing, one that could introduce the band to an audience far beyond their existing fans.
What I did
I directed and edited Symphonic Tales from creative direction through to final delivery, shaping both how it was filmed and how it came together in the edit.
The outcome
The films went viral, reaching over 55 million views to date. Soon after, HAEVN’s YouTube channel grew by more than 300,000 subscribers, turning one release into a lasting audience.
Still working together
I’ve continued working with HAEVN since, most recently on their AFAS concert film.

I Am Hardwell: Two Feature Documentaries
Director & Editor
Two feature-length documentaries following one artist from rising star to world’s #1 DJ. Both artist documentaries reached #1 on iTunes, aired on national television, and played in cinemas internationally.
The brief
Create a film that tells the story behind the artist: not just the shows and the success, but the person and the journey that got him there. The first film told the story of a boy’s dream of becoming the number one DJ in the world. The second asked what comes after.
I AM HARDWELL: If You Can Dream It You Can Do It · IMDb 7.8
I directed and edited Hardwell’s rise toward the top. The world premiere took place at the Tuschinski cinema during Amsterdam Dance Event, the same time he was crowned the world’s number one DJ. That timing put the film in front of a huge new audience and turned a documentary into a major brand awareness moment. elektroDaily named it Best Documentary in its elektroAwards.
I AM HARDWELL: Living the Dream · IMDb 8.0
The sequel shows how his life changed after becoming the #1 DJ in the world, following him across 34 cities, reaching a climax at his Madison Square Garden New York show. It had it’s red carpet premiere during Amsterdam Dance Event.
The outcome
Both films reached #1 on iTunes, aired on national television, and played in cinemas internationally. Hardwell’s official bio credits the documentaries with supporting the culmination of both of his world tours, which included sold-out shows at Brixton Academy and Madison Square Garden. Across those tours, he played 62 shows in 21 countries to 897,617 fans.
The films gave his brand a reach beyond music alone and fed directly into his artist campaigns.

Hardwell ft. Snoop Dogg & Conor Maynard: How You Love Me
Writer & Director
5.7M+ views. A one-day pitch deadline and a car-brand requirement, turned into a love story told from the front of the car. Won the pitch and directed the shoot.
The brief
The label needed the treatment almost immediately, and the video had to feature a car brand interested in sponsoring it. Beyond that, the creative direction was open.
What I did
I wrote a love story told from a single vantage point, the front of a car, and delivered the treatment in under 24 hours. Rather than using the car as set dressing, I made it the point of view through which the audience experiences the relationship. The car brand later withdrew from the project, but the concept held up on its own and the video went ahead as planned.
I directed the shoot across Rotterdam and The Hague, working with a film production company on crew and logistics. The story ran across four seasons, so the art team worked backward: starting each location with the car as dirty as possible and cleaning it layer by layer for each new season.
The outcome
The video has reached 5.7M+ views. It follows a young couple through their car journeys, was released to celebrate the track’s global success, and was part of the Netherlands Film Festival and ran for best music video.
