Here Lies Lola

Brandon Oelofse

Brandon Oelofse received a grant for the development of Here Lies Lola. When Lola, a beloved trans woman, dies, her friends arrive at the funeral only to discover that her family intends to cremate her as a man. Determined not to let her be erased, they steal the coffin and take it to their small city apartment.Brandon is a multi-award-winning writer, filmmaker, and theatre-maker. Through his company Backlash Media Productions, he focuses on telling authentic LGBTQ+ stories. With a dedicated focus on queer experiences, he creates compelling narratives that celebrate the rich diversity of this community.

The Amarte Foundation was founded by a number of individuals and their families who share a deep love for the arts. They wish to support the development of creatives and talent in arts and culture by providing financial means and where possible coaching, knowledge and experience. Artists who are active in the cultural sectors of the Netherlands or the ABCSSS islands (the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands) can apply to Amarte for the support of projects in the field of theatre, film, music, visual arts and literature, as well as interdisciplinary projects.
