Jaap's Story
I live in the local area and found out about the Photoshoot from a friend of mine that works at WornFree, so I came down to check it out and meet some of the students at Minerva.
I really like it when creative things happen out of the blue and have started to listen closer to the things happening around me to help with my own creative path. I co-owed a film production company for the past 14 years, in which time I really achieved everything that I wanted and was feeling like time for a change. I met a couple of dudes at the Oerol Festival 2 years ago and was telling them how I felt stuck. They helped me see a new beginning. Since then I have moved on from the film company and I am truly following my creative heart.
I am writing a blog with my daily observations and I am excited to see what the future will bring. That is why I picked this Zoltar t-shirt to see what he had to say about my future, on the back of the tag is a message from Zoltar. Mine read:
Haha well I guess I am on the right path. You can check out my blog (in Dutch) on my Facebook profile.”

About Zoltar
Zoltar is a fortune telling machine that came to fame through a role in the movie Big in 1988. Big starred Tom Hanks. Hanks played a young boy who went to a carnival where he put a coin in a fortune teller machine, and made a wish that he was "big". The fortune teller, Zoltar, then gave him a fortune on a card which said "Your wish has been granted". The next day he had become a man instead of a boy!
