Back in 2019, Pieter-Rim De Kroon asked me to write a bit of text for his latest documentary, Silence of the Tides, and when I saw the film at the opening, I was utterly blown away. My family goes to Vlieland every summer, so I was already a fan of the region, but seeing Pieter-Rim's footage set at its mesmerizing pace was a beautiful experience. Seeing my name in the credits at the end was the cherry on the cake. I contributed very little, but Pieter-Rim is incredibly kind, "Everyone who participated gets a credit".

If you're ever feeling stressed and a little weary, I can highly recommend Silence of the Tides as a way of escaping into nature. Take in a matinee and just let yourself get lost in it. You'll feel better.
