He is becoming a real Tiktok hit: Sem Krystof from Alkmaar. With his critical, but loving videos, he has already managed to lure about twenty-three thousand followers to his account. “I notice it especially when I go for a drink in the city, then I am often recognized and then I have to take a picture. ‘That’s that guy from Tiktok’, people say”.
Twenty-three thousand followers for Alkmaar videos by Sem – NH Nieuws
It started with a film about the infamous Karperton parking garage in the heart of Alkmaar. The garage is known for its tight spots and the critical video that Sem made about it was viewed a million times.
Since that success, he often chooses his city as a subject. Although he has not lived there for a while – his parents have moved outside the city – Alkmaar remains his city. Although he is not always full of praise in his videos. “Alkmaar is perfect and if you come from Alkmaar, you know what I mean by the criticism,” says Sem Krystof, who is actually called Sem Machacek but chose his slightly easier-sounding middle name.

Sem runs into his subjects in daily life: “The ideas just arise out of nowhere and then suddenly there is another movie”.
He is not very impressed by the thousands of followers on Tiktok. As long as he’s having fun with it, he’ll keep making videos. He doesn’t make money with it.
When asked about his ambition, Sem is clear: “I don’t care about the number of followers, but I would like to do something with presenting or acting in the future”.
