Career Summary
As a dynamic and experienced freelance production sound mixer, I have been contributing to films and
documentaries for a variety of international production and broadcasting companies across the globe
since 1995.
I have a firm grounding in productions that require a high degree of self-sufficiency and resourcefulness
and I always approach new challenges with enthusiasm and creative solutions.
I have experience with a wide range of budgets and formats. I am equally at home working in higherbudget features, quality television drama as well as in groundbreaking low-budget cinema. All projects
are 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 multiple camera shoots (Full equipment list available upon request)

What people have said about my work ...
“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 Hurrican Films ltd
"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 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
“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 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 him.”
Kacy Andrews - Producer - Bigfoot Entertainment
“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 trustworthy hands!”
Danny Lacey - Director – Stadamedia
