Famke Louise’s new three-part documentary, Girl Next, can be seen at Videoland from 10 November. The documentary shows her quest to reinvent herself in a world where she can never be offline and must continue to perform, while in the meantime the whole of the Netherlands watches her on the road to adulthood.
Famke Louise, whose real name is Famke Meijer, said at the end of last year that there were a sequel would be featured on her 2018 four-part documentary.
The singer was followed for a year by maker June te Spenke. “While watching the previous documentary about Famke Louise, I wondered as a person what else was behind Famke, I didn’t really get to know her and was still left with many questions. After I had been filming with her for six months, I finally broke through her wall “, says Te Spenke.
“My goal for making this documentary is that Famke reaches so many people with such a large platform and can inspire them not to hide your vulnerability, but to express your fears. I think Famke is very brave that she finally dares herself. to speak out about what happened to her. I want to show the soul of a young woman on her way to independence in the spotlights, “said the documentary maker.
“The reason why I worked on this documentary is that many people think they know me, but of course they only see Famke Louise and not who I really am in daily life,” said the singer. “I am also someone who, just like everyone else, encounters things in life. Things that shape me into who I am. I would like to open up that side of me more and show Famke Meijer instead of Famke Louise.”
