Dear Thief

When a petty thief snatches the bag of a young refugee, he anticipates nothing more than a quick score. But inside, he finds more than stolen belongings—he uncovers a window into another life, marked by memory, loss, and quiet resilience. As the contents of the bag begin to haunt him, the thief is confronted with the raw humanity of his victim. What began as a simple act of survival spirals into emotional disarray.

Dear Thief is a poetic and haunting meditation on dignity, displacement, and the invisible threads that bind strangers. It is not a tale of redemption, but of reckoning—a story where one fleeting decision opens the door to unexpected consequence, not salvation, but unraveling.

A Biography Of A Lovable Father

When Bas and Daan van de Berg, from Amsterdam, decided to surprise their father with a meaningful birthday gift, they came up with a beautiful idea: to capture Tom van de Berg (Anton)’s life story on film—a legacy for future generations.

I was truly moved by their intention and said yes without a second thought.

What followed was the creation of a deeply personal and touching biography of a father—a story full of love, memory, and meaning.

It’s not just special to them—it’s precious to me as well.

Music Videos

Story Of My Life

I shot it without any prior preparation as the need for this music video was so urgent. I am happy. I quote Krista’s words:

“A few months ago, when I just moved to Amsterdam, a new friend played Tabitha’s song “Michael Jordan” from the Beste Zangers (original: Milow). Immediately, there was a deep connection with the song and I directly knew that I wanted to sing it myself. I felt that I was connected to my feelings about my Mom. After listening a few times, I wrote down my own text. In the most horrible time of my life I wrote this song for my Mom. I wrote it straight from my heart and put my whole soul in. You can read all of my feelings when you listen.”

A short dance film for Shiva Rathri, from Netherlands. Two beautiful dancers from Dance Company Madhoerie, Aartie Anuradha Jagmohan and Golshid, performed so well. The film was shot in two hours, under cold and chilling climate conditions and was edited in one day. Aartie had a knee pain for a week and Golshid is pregnant with 7 months old baby. What a dedication these two have towards the classical Indian dance!!! I am humbled!

Promo Films

Our Promos for Långasjönäs Camping & Stugby in SWEDEN

One of the most stunning nature campsites I’ve encountered is Langasjonas in Sweden. I had the opportunity to film this stunning location for their promotional campaign. Over the course of three days, I captured the essence of the site—its serene landscapes, atmosphere, and charm. From the footage, I created three different promo versions tailored to their needs.

End Events

Talent Night - A Competition!

Talent from across the world illuminated the stage during Talent Night in Nijmegen, gracefully curated by New Rootz. Among the many highlights, one stood out most: seven-year-old Luna van Lier, assisting me as second unit camera-woman with quiet focus and joy. A night of light, connection, and memories we’ll carry with us.

Love - A Short Film

A short love story, created together with a group of newcomers and refugees in the Netherlands.
For many of them, it was their very first time seeing a camera—let alone using one.
Everything around them was unfamiliar: the country, the people, the language.

Now imagine this: just four hours to teach the basics of scriptwriting, five hours to shoot the film, and one day to edit.

The challenges were immense—but they rose to meet them.
And they didn’t just complete it—they created something truly beautiful. Together.

Love Is In The Air

The Vierdaagse Festival in Nijmegen, the Netherlands—what an unforgettable celebration!
I captured just a glimpse of the magic on the final day, and even that was electric.
The energy was contagious: food, drinks, music, dancing, and love everywhere you turned.

One day isn’t nearly enough to film it all, but with my BMPCC 6K Pro handheld, I put together a short teaser—a taste of the joy, movement, and spirit that filled the streets.

Personal Albums

Senthooraa – a Tamil Song.

This song in particular stayed with me. It’s so catchy, yet so beautifully simple.One quiet day, I found myself doing just that—soaking in the moment—on a beach near AmsterdamRotterdam. The waves, the breeze, the stillness… I felt I had to capture it somehow. It became part of my “A Walk To Remember” series.

At first, I wasn’t sure what to focus on—until Samba came bounding into the frame. Samba, our Golden Retriever, the newest (and furriest) member of our family. Without trying, he brought the whole scene to life. Her playfulness, her calm, her joy in the present moment—She was the story.

Lock ’em Up!

A quick, handheld music video shot in a single evening on the vibrant streets of Paris, France.
It’s the latest installment in the ongoing A Walk to Remember series—capturing fleeting moments, raw energy, and the magic of spontaneity.

Dance Monkey

“Dance Monkey” is that one song that never fails to spark Luna’s passion for music. I’ve witnessed it for over four years—how her eyes light up, how she moves with joy every time it plays.

Through the A Walk to Remember series, I’m capturing Luna’s life—little moments, memories, and milestones—so that one day, she’ll have a beautiful window into her early years, and into what her father was doing with her and for her.

Etharkadi – A Tamil song.

On an evening in Amsterdam, I challenged myself with an iPhone for a candid film. It surprises me everyday.

A concept for a film

It was after the COVID period when we traveled through Norway and France. At the time, it felt like a simple journey—a return to movement, to beauty, to being together. But when I began assembling the footage, something unexpected revealed itself: a story hidden in the margins. Moments I hadn’t noticed then—glances, silences, small gestures—began to form a quiet, powerful narrative. That’s when I realized: this wasn’t just a travelogue. It was the beginning of a feature film. A story about what remains unspoken, what connects us beneath the surface. A story that had always been there, waiting to be seen.

12 Grapes

Coming Soon

Crows Of Color

POW (Prisoners Of War)

12 Grapes is a poetic short film written by Ravi Joghee that follows a girl named Hope as she shares the morally complex and emotional story of her father — a refugee and a thief. Set against the backdrop of migration, memory, and longing, 12 Grapes explores themes of identity, dignity, and love through the lens of intergenerational storytelling. The film invites viewers into a reflective journey that blends realism with symbolism, challenging perceptions and evoking empathy.

Crows of Color is a poetic animated short film that tells a symbolic story about migration, belonging, and resilience. Aimed at audiences aged 7 and up, the 10-minute film follows a young crow who dares to fly beyond the borders of her black-and-white world, discovering the power of difference and the colors within. Directed by Ravi Joghee and co-produced by New Rootz and Facemagic Productions, Crows of Color blends expressive animation with a universal message of hope and transformation.

Prisoners of War is a simple game. It begins with children lifting one another on their shoulders—playful, innocent. But the game spirals into a clash of worlds. In the end, everything is turned upside down… and a single, mysterious drop of blood reveals a world no one ever imagined.
