Doodnormaal

Doodnormaal is a short-documentary about the terminally ill Ralph Bonink. The film is directed by Sophie van Velthoven and Daan Mansfeld, both at that time Audiovisual Design students at the Willem de Kooning Academy. When Ralph was only four years old, he had a nearly-death-experience which changed his mindset for life. Ever since, he lived with the feeling that he had to fight for everything, and it was this mindset that helped him through the tough times of being terminally ill. 

Together with Mees Blankevoort, I had the honor to compose the music.
