"Today I can finally tell you that I am a part of the cast of ‘A Small Light’ by Disney+ and National Geographic.
A series that tells the story of Miep Gies, a woman who risked her life to shelter Anne Frank’s family during WWII.
I play the part of Sophie, a girl who survived Auschwitz, and meets Jan Gies, played by Joe Cole.
In a time like this where antisemitism only seems to grow, I’m very grateful to be a small part of a series that showcases bravery, kindness and love against hate.
Watch 'A Small Light' now on Disney+, NatgeoTV or Hulu. Find me in the final episode."

best movie award

best movie award

Moffenmeid (La Tondue) by Raymon Hilkman has been awarded BEST MOVIE at the ‘International festival du film d’histoire’ in Montreal, Canada!!
The jury described Moffenmeid this way.
"Served by the finesse of the actors’ play as well as by a subtle soundtrack, the film shifts the tension of this tragic moment in history by questioning the tearing of a mother and her daughter, humiliated by the inhabitants of the neighborhood for having linked up with a German soldier during the Second World War. For the originality of its point of view, as well as for its sobriety and the efficiency of silences, the award for best short film is awarded to La Tondue (Moffenmeid) by Raymon Hilkman (Netherlands)"

love remains _out now

love remains _out now

"This is a song that became my anthem, my remedy, and I’m so happy to finally share it with you now.
Love remains.
‘Love remains’ describes the feeling of deep, true love in the midst of pain, grief and resentment. For months, I have been feeling sad, angry and anxious in a way I’ve never experienced before. Writing this song really felt like the light at the end of the tunnel. It gave me courage and strength to look beyond the pain.
And in that same way it is also a reminder for myself to focus on the things that matter in life. The things I want to add to this world, as an artist, as a lover, as a daughter, as a friend. I really hope you find comfort in this song too." Listen now
