About ANNE+
As gay women born in the 90s, writer Maud Wiemeijer, director Valerie Bisscheroux and lead actress Hanna van Vliet didn’t grow up with a lot of relatable representations of themselves in the media. This became the driving force that motivated them to create ANNE+. The series is produced by Rachel van Bommel and Suzan de Swaan, Millstreet Films, in co-production with the ANNE+ foundation. The series is broadcasted by BNNVARA in The Netherlands.
