Deep Focus Webdocs - Producer

Jos has been producing, editing and presenting short documentaries ('webdocs') for online platforms since October 2013. The webdocs offer serious and innovative visual journalism, provide crucial context into the stories they share and allow viewers to engage with them on a personal level. They distinguish themselves from current online and print journalism, creating an independent reflection of the news. Since 2013, over 70 short webdocs have been produced, winning numerous awards at international festivals.
