Choosing has never been Jonathan’s main strength. He studied Philosophy, Political Science, Economics, and Film and Television Studies in more or less random order, which means he has dinner conversation level knowledge of almost everything. Eventually, however, he turned towards the Dutch Film Academy, where he graduated as a director in 2011. In the years following his studies, he worked consecutively and simultaneously as a waiter, a copywriter and creative, a filmmaker, a screenwriter, and a film teacher. Since 2020, he has also been active as a ghostwriter.
Jonathan loves works by first asking questions and exploring a topic from many angles, to then find form in which what needs to be told can be best expressed. He has discovered that in this regard fiction and non-fiction are not very different: both are about finding an internal logic where the various parts of a story or argument interconnect and work towards an inevitable conclusion.
Nowadays, Jonathan lives in Catalunya, where he tries to combine his various passions and interests with sun, sea, and ‘cap i pota’ (a traditional Catalan dish). In recent years, he has made short films in Dutch, English, Serbian, Catalan, and Spanish, and he is currently working on several longer projects. Interestingly, his favourite vegetables all start with the letter A, except cauliflower, which, as many know, begins with a C.
