Willem was robbed From Los Angeles, CA U.S.A

Founded Studentfilms.com (now FilmSchool.org) while attending BU's College of Communication for film in 1998. Currently thriving in the world of "non-scripted" TV editing and producing - which surprisingly (depending on the show) is an extremely fulfilling and creative experience as an editor as the editor practically "writes" the whole show instead of it being written before it even gets to you.

The Film School forums on Studentfilms.com were moved to FilmSchool.org in 2014.
