MEDIA EXPERIENCE

When I am not doing In your own words - or Human design sessions,  I am a podcast producer.  I  have also worked as an editor, in daily news and created short docs. My work has previously been published on Time.com,  PBS NewsHour, CartoonMovement, the VPRO (Dutch Public TV).  Ideally I like to experiment; digging into historical archives and mixing different media like video and illustrations to create short docs. 

PODCAST VLUCHTNUMMERS

Senior producer and editor for The podcast VLUCHTNUMMERS (Songs of flight)  features the extraordinary stories of people who’ve had to flee their country, all told through music. Which songs gave them courage during difficult moments on their journey and confidence to build a new life in a new country.

Vluchtnummers was made with the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, UNHCR en Stichting Vluchteling and produced by Jollofriceproductions 

SHORT DOC Over half a century after the documentary "Take This Hammer" was produced, filmmaker Caroline Bins created a follow-up film: "Black San Francisco." She interviewed many of the same people from the earlier film about how much, or little change has occurred with regard to the issues discussed half a century earlier.

Short Doc Video journalist Caroline Dijckmeester-Bins collaborated with American editorial cartoonist Matt Bors to create a video incorporating animated illustrations of the people they interviewed, and features contributing illustrations from the Haitian artist Chevelin Pierre.

PBS NEWSHOUR An obscure piece of immigration law targets uniquely talented individuals who want to live in the United States. University of California, Berkeley students Lauren Rosenfeld and Caroline Bins explore how it could help some Russian performers in Las Vegas gain permanent residency thanks to their rope and trapeze talents.
