Maud Wiemeijer (1993, she/her). Nice to meet you!

I am a writer for film, television, theatre and podcasts.

My love for writing began, I’ll be honest with you, in fan fiction. As a teen I used to write alternative storylines for shows like ER. I would post them on forums, with cliffhangers and lesbian storylines and all, and nobody in my ‘real’ life knew I was doing this. I labeled myself a successful writer and never looked back.

Well, sort of. In 2016, I graduated from the University of Amsterdam in Theatre Studies. I spent a semester in Brighton (UK) at the University of Sussex where I started writing my first play. During my final year of university, I created a series called ANNE+, a web series about a lesbian girl navigating life in Amsterdam. It came from a place of wanting to make something I wish I had seen when I was 14 and closeted. The web series quickly grew out to be an international succes, getting a second televised season and a feature film on Netflix, available in 180 countries. ANNE+ was screened at festivals like Tribeca Film Festival and Outfest, twice nominated for Prix Europe and received several ‘Gouden Kalf’ nominations at the Nederlands Film Festival. I was involved in the entire process of making ANNE+.

After this whirlwind, I wrote an episode for MODERN LOVE: AMSTERDAM and started developing several projects. Among other things, I am now co-writing an original musical, I’ve written a fictional podcast which go into production soon, writing my second feature film and developing a series in London.
