about me
I am Jaap W. Sijben (1986), graduated in 2009 from the film academy. Since then I have been a freelance soundman for documentary, fiction and commercial projects. I am most challenged by unique projects that demand high quality and substantive involvement. I own my own equipment for both documentary and fiction projects. In order to be easily deployable internationally, I have my own ATA-Carnet for temporary import of my equipment and a USA journalist visa. Mud, cold, heat and square eyes don't stop me from treating sound professionally!

ask me for
Documentaire-, Fictie-, Commercial en Muziek projecten, zowel inter- als nationaal.
