Background
Information
|
|
Joost Boekhoven was born in 1962 in the Netherlands. He is an author, classical pianist, photographer and film maker. He has written short stories and novels about spiritual topics, as well as a series of articles about health, personal growth, spirituality and music. In his free time he is fascinated by the kind of science fiction that gives the reader a feeling of awe and a sense of infinity. Making films about this is something he leaves to the better-funded filmmakers, but he does write about it. Some of his work can be read at his website: www.gemstories.com/splash.html.
His first spiritual novel, Gem's story - a spiritual journey, is in the process of being published at John Hunt Publishing.
In his film making he specializes in documentaries about classical music and musicians, and in portraits of people who want to record the struggles, victories and insights in their lives.
