- About BUas
Jip looks back with pride: “My graduation project was a deeply personal documentary. I already had the idea to make something about my father and paragliding. As part of the assignment, we had to collaborate with a company, and that’s how I connected with the EvE Foundation, which supports young people who have lost one or both parents. Over eight months, I explored the stories of loved ones affected by loss, including my own experience of losing my father when I was nearly four. The documentary became both a tribute to him and a reflection on grief and remembrance.”
The documentary will soon be screened in several film houses across Noord-Brabant, more details will follow shortly.
For now, we celebrate this wonderful achievement: congratulations to Jip for turning her personal story into an award-winning documentary that touches audiences and professionals alike!
