As a child LOLA met Peter Pan, and was immediately hooked. She owned eight different copies of the book, her room was decorated in the colors of the movie, and only six years of age she made a live action film of the character. But then there was also mathematics. A subject she was very good at, and therefore might have been the thing to study. Still she panicked at the prospect. So when her father suggested she could also go to the Netherlands Film Academy, that idea came as an immediate relief. She graduated in 2020, preferring to work on projects she herself would like to watch. That’s where Peter Pan, he never stopped being a presence in her life, comes back into the picture. Cause except for addressing a social theme that gives importance, her favorite films always contain a touch of surrealism and fantasy. At the same time she keeps her two feet firmly on the ground and is very practical: she had to be, being the handy eldest in the family with a dad who has two left hands. So besides always taking care of everyone (call Lola if you need a ride in the middle of the night), she is the one who fixes things. You can imagine that sometimes creates a full and busy mind. That’s why she takes a walk before going to bed: to have a peaceful sleep after. That evening walk is the one thing she could never do without, together with music. Can you believe her Spotify rep of 2021 states that she listened to 249 music genres?!
