Valerie Bisscheroux graduated as a producer at The Netherlands Film Academy in Amsterdam. They focus on positive, nuanced representation of LGBTQ+ characters and storylines in films and series, foregrounding empowering stories about women and queer people in search of their identity and expression.
Valerie made their directorial debut with the coming-of-age queer series ANNE+ , currently available internationally on Netflix. The series was selected for prestigious festivals such as Inside Out and Tribeca Film Festival. Both seasons 1 and 2 of ANNE+ were nominated for the Prix Europa. The movie ANNE+ (2001) which followed the series, was Valerie’s debut feature film and is also available on Netflix. Another notable title which they directed is The F-Word (2020), a short documentary series about feminism.
Currently, Valerie is working on various other projects and plans. Valerie has directed half the episodes of the series This Is Gonna Be Great, which will screen later this year in the Netherlands, Germany and Belgium.
