As a dynamic and experienced
production sound mixer, I have contributed to films and
documentaries for a variety of international production-
and broadcasting companies across the globe since 1995.
(see chapters above for overview)
Due to a firm grounding in productions that require a high degree of self-sufficiency and resourcefulness I will always approach new challenges with enthusiasm and creative solutions.
I am equally at home working in higher-budget features, quality television drama as well as in groundbreaking low-budget cinema, all projects are always treated with the same dedication, passion and respect.
I speak fluent English, Dutch and
French and own / operate a comprehensive hard disk
recording based film sound kit with time code
facilities for multi-camera shoots
(full
equipment list is available on request).
If you would like some more information about my skills and experience, then please contact me and I'd be delighted to talk to you.

What people have said about my work ...
“Johan is my all time
favourite. His work is absolutely outstanding : he is
a superb technician, a creative problem solver and a
wonderful guy to work with.”
Luk
Wyns - Director / Producer - Diamond City
Films
“Johan's commitment
to our film was total from day one. Both the quality
of his work and his positive attitude a joyful
addition to any crew.”
Sol
Papadopoulos - Producer - Hurricane
Films
“Johan worked with us
on ID2 in Hull last March. For a sound crew it was a
difficult film since the camera continually moved in
unexpected directions and so all actors could be on
camera at all times. Johan was fast, efficient and
easy to work with, turning in excellent sound under
these difficult conditions. The director and I will
certainly want him on the next film"
Sally
Hibbin - Producer - Parallax Independent
Films
"I tend to make very
ambitious films, and my way of shooting is very
adventurous. Usually, this gets in the way of all of
our on-set sound mixers. In the case of ID2, where I
worked with Johan, it was the first time that someone
had my back. Johan is truly a professional, an artist
and an obsessive in the details of his craft. The
sound was not only great, but we were able to achieve
our super complicated shots with all his support. He
is collaborative, easy to work with and his sound is
top of the line quality. What else can a director ask
for in a sound mixer? If you want your film to have
great sound without compromising the visual
storytelling, I advise you to hire Johan, eyes
closed"
Joel
Novoa - Director I.D.2
“Johan was an
integral part of my core team for 'The First Film' and
he was especially useful in France as he was the only
one of us who could speak the language. In other
situations in the UK I found his suggestions re the
way I was phrasing certain sentences very useful. I
had asked him to do this because, as I was the
director, producer and the presenter I sometimes
needed guidance. I have already recommended him to
other filmmakers and I know they have employed him,
and will do so again, as will I."
David
Wilkinson - Producer / Director - Guerilla
Films
“Johan has worked on
several of my short film projects. I can't see myself
working with anyone else for sound recording, his work
is of an incredibly high standard. Johan's knowledge,
experience and enthusiasm for this industry is
impressive. I highly recommend Johan's services, you
would be in very trust worthy hands!”
Danny
Lacey - Director - Stadamedia
“Johan is not only a
pleasure to work with, but trustworthy and reliable.
He performed his job as audio recording mixer on our
films without any errors or issues. He's the type of
person one desires to have on their team because he
needs little management and he's a team player. I
highly recommend Johan.”
