Thanks to the support of the Flemish Audiovisual Fund, he made his first professional short film “A Day in a Life” in 2007. The film was selected at more than 50 Film Festivals and won several prizes.
“27” is his second professional short film with the support van of the Flemish Audiovisual Fund.

«The tone of the film is rather cynical, but the language and the unique way of responding by the protagonist makes it funny at the same time. Intolerance and madness about trivial stuff is an issue that is highly relevant and in my opinion relevant enough to think about.» Nicolas Daenens
