but by the end of this post I hope you’ll love the concept as much as me.
ANNE+ is a dutch made webseries focusing on the life of a twenty year old lesbian, Anne, who has just moved to Amsterdam at the start of the series, and follows her for the next four years.
^^^^ That’s Anne, played by the wonderful Hannah Van Vliet.
Each episode focuses on a different relationship she has over these four years, hence the title “Anne+” (Anne+TheNameOfTheOtherGirl).
The creators have been ardent about the fact that, although it focuses on the life of a gay girl, it isn’t meant to be about how difficult it is to be gay, how much of a struggle it is to come out. Instead, it’s about being in your twenties and living life in a new place, finding out who you are: the positive experience of being gay, rather than the negative that a lot of mainstream media tends to focus on. To quote Hannah Van Vliet, “She just happens to be gay and this is her life.”
Listening to the creators, Maud Wiemeijer and Valerie Bisscheroux, it’s very evident that this is a passion project for everyone involved: “We often say that we’re creating the content that lacked when we were young. If you’re young and a little unsure of who you are, it’s nice to find some recognition.”
While they’ve finished shooting the first two episodes (which are slated to be released soon), they need funding to finish shooting the remaining episodes. At the time of writing this post they’ve raised two thirds of the funds they need:
If you can donate any amount, or even just reblog this post and get this series the attention that it deserves, you’ll be helping this production massively. From what we’ve seen, the production value is amazing, the writing is slick and relatable, and everyone involved is entirely passionate about the project. If you don’t believe me, just watch their crowdfunding video (they have more videos on their YouTube channel too):
Please signal boost this even if you can’t donate! Thanks!
