Together with my good friends and co-directors Diederick Geers and Jasper Loos, I had the opportunity to create our animated short film Cliffhanger through the Ultrakort initiative. In addition to directing, I wrote the story and developed the visual style for the film. Cliffhanger was produced in 2020 as part of Ultrakort, a collaboration between the Netherlands Film Fund, Fonds 21, and Vue Cinemas.
