Screenwriter. But next to that a compulsive painter. Born, lives and works in Amsterdam. [https://www.saatchiart.com/Robert-J-Overeem] Next to my regular work I am currently working on a series of portraits made after different pictures, found on internet, in books, etc. from different times, different places, and different social backgrounds. Starting with one pictue as a basis and then using e.g. the hair, the nose, the eyes, or other parts from the next. In this way I want to create new characters, in their own time and space, with their own thoughts. [https://www.saatchiart.com/art/Painting-Ludwig/337131/3268488/view] Robert Jan Overeem (Amsterdam, 1957) after completing teacher training (handicrafts and drawing) went to work as a coordinator at a center that provided video courses for young people and made a monthly TV program for the Amsterdam cable television. This program, simply called WBTV, reached cult status after a few years and almost all employees found their way as TV creators, journalists or designers.... ...Then followed series like HELP (NCRV) and the famous series Fort Alpha (TROS). All in all, there was sufficient basis to establish himself as a free-lance scriptwriter. His first assignment was writing dialogues for the Veronica series Combat. Many series followed, in different genres, whether or not in collaboration with other writers: police series such as Baantjer and Spangen, the hospital series Intensive Care (RTL4), comedies and sitcoms such as de (Omroep Brabant) en de enigmatische detectiveserie Heer & Meester. Samen met Anton Smit schreef hij de Telefilms 15.35 u Spoor 1 en On Stage (beide BNN). In 2008 schreef hij de aangrijpende film Hou Holland Schoon voor de reeks One Night Stand... Samen met collega Jan Harm Dekker schreef hij de veelbekroonde mini-serie De Zaak Menten. [http://leden.netwerkscenario.nl/leden/view/29507/1] undefined
