Queen and Lionheart is a story about two friends, who couldn't be more different in their personalities. Ronja is shy, organized and quiet, while Quinn is wild, crazy and caring. Together they make a funny but functioning team. When Ronja keeps having mysterious dreams about her past, Quinn takes the lead and organises a journey. They make the move to find a beach but on the way they learn a lot about themselves.

The greatest thing about being a filmmaker is working in a team. You can multiply your creativity and support each other. We all worked on films together before and now our gradfilm is coming up - the last big step before finishing filmschool.
For me, the writer and director, it has always been important to use my voice through the films I make and tell a message. I wanted to write and film a female driven story in a mostly male centred genre - the buddy movie. Our two protagonists are not just good or bad - they are thriving, dangerous, loving, mysterious and real.
It is important for us to tell the story of female character for a broad audience, something that everyone can enjoy. To create characters that everyone, boy or girl, can relate to.
All the money will go into the making of the film.
We have some fab rewards to thank everyone who donates, whatever the amount you might give. But your biggest reward will of course be our eternal gratefullness and love!
