January 2026

I have recently returned to my home town of Utrecht (The Netherlands), where I will be working on the script for the next two months. In March, the first version of the script will be shared among the scientific participants of the project (i.e. museums and individual researchers). I'm also working on more video essays for the YouTube channel and finishing the blogs about the Grand Tour Préhistorique. I'm subsisting with odd jobs. If you're in the area and/or interested in cooperating, shoot me a message through the Contact page. 

December 2025

After a fantastic month in Les Eyzies, I visited the caves of Niaux and Gargas in the Pyrenees. Afterwards, I visited the wonderful caves of Cantabria in Northern Spain. Here, I had meetings with the Museum of Prehistory and Archaeology of Cantabria in Santander as well as the Altamira Museum. The folks there were very happy to cooperate. I also met up with Marina Lezcano (@mlezac) who wants to help out with the project with concept art. On the way home, I had a meeting with the director of the National Museum of Prehistory in Les Eyzies. She was also very interested in supporting the project. 

The Bison's Legs is accepted into the HISTORY - International Film Festival Austria, which will take place in October 2026. 

November 2025

I spent most of this month in lovely Les Eyzies, where I met up with just about anyone in the world of prehistory that I could find. I visited the sites of Font de Gaume, Les Combarelles, Cap Blanc, Lascaux IV, Bernifal, Peche Merle and, after a chance meeting with the owner in a café, also the Grotte de Commarque. 

On November 27-28, I presented my philosophical approach to Stone Age filmmaking on the MetArh conference in Zagreb (Croatia). The paper is titled "An epistemology for prehistoric filmmaking" and you can read it here.
