What is, according to you, the best part
of the IMEM study? How do you want to be remembered by
your students? 
Charlie: For me the best part is how we take what
we try and teach you in the classroom, so the
theory of the program, and apply it with different
projects. So, we teach you some concepts or
ideas in the classroom and then you get to try
that mainly through production house projects
or your work placements or other kinds of
projects. So that way that we implement both the
theory behind something and allow the student
to actually try it out and apply that theory in a
practical way I think is the best part of the program. Charlie: I hope they remember me as straight
forward. Kind of easy going but I can also
be a dick if you piss me off. But I think once
students figure me out, I was easy to deal with.
Arleen: The best part of the IMEM study is not
in the study, but what happens afterwards.
I am very, very proud when I see Alumni in
industry events or during film festivals and I
see how successful they have become and how
much they love what they are doing right now. Arnoud: For me it’s most important that
students have a positive experience about
the way I’m dealing with them. I have an
open personality trying to approach students.
Arnoud: Honestly, I think all parts from year
one to year four are important as part of the
total study. But if I really have to choose then
in my opinion the best part for the student to
gain the most experience is the placement.
Every time I hear the stories from students, I
always realize that the two foundation years
really makes them ready for the industry as well.
“I am very, very proud
when I see Alumni in
industry events ”
Arleen: I want to be remembered as approachable
and available to give students advice.
At first, I can seem serious and strict. But later,
once I know the students better, it is easier to talk
to them when they know what they want to get
out of IMEM.
What production house would you
choose? 
Charlie: I would choose radio, cause I’m a radio
teacher myself. Radio was my first passion. I
also did some television hosting as well, but
I’ve always been fond of radio and I think there
is a lot of room to do some fun stuff in radio. 

Arleen: My favorite PH and the PH that
I
would
choose
would
be 
mADE 
AV,
but on the other hand, if I was studying
at BUas I would also like to try transmedia.   

Arnoud: I was always interested in marketing
so I would choose for marketing. If I were able
to choose as a student, then I think I would
choose AV. The way films and videos are
produced and created attracts my interest.
