Discover the creative world of Ilse, a down-to-earth producer who translates her love of creativity into her involved projects. Her path into the creative industry began with a childhood filled with dressing up and building tents, and became evident during her studies in Tilburg, where she found her calling in the video production industry.

Ilse was raised with the mentality of working hard which contributed to her mindset. “I guess I’m kind of a chameleon. I am flexible and can easily follow the reasoning of others, if it contributes to the end goal.” 

What Ilse likes most about her work at hazazaH is the diversity. “Every month we delve into a completely different subject, from Defense sites to a McDonald’s cottage in the dunes at Terschelling. It can’t be crazy enough, and that’s what inspires me the most,” she says. For Ilse, creativity is key in her work. “Colouring outside the lines is really part of the job. It’s not always according to the norm, and that’s what makes it interesting.” Building a whole world that doesn’t exist is what Ilse loves most. Not just copying other films but really putting down new creative concepts. Showing things where you think: ‘how is this possible?’

Ilse’s inspiration comes primarily from films, especially those by Wes Anderson. “His artsy films are my ideal image. The colors, the acting, the caricatures – it’s exactly what I would want my life to look like.”

For Ilse, happiness drives her goals. “Working with nice people, coming up with new creative concepts, and showing things that can’t be done at all. That’s what makes me happy,” she concludes, ready for the next creative challenge.
