Aiko Beemsterboer

She landed her first lead role in the feature film VECHTMEISJE (2018) in which she played Bo, a twelve-year old talented but hot-tempered kick boxer. She is distracted by her fighting parents who are in the middle of a divorce, and needs to learn how to control her emotions and, at the same time, accept the fact that she can’t control everything. VECHTMEISJE received multiple awards, such as the ‘Young Audience Award’ at the European Film Awards in 2019, ‘ECFA Award’ at the BUFF International Film Festival and the ‘Audience Award’ and ‘Cinekid Film Award’ at Cinekid. The film was well received by the Dutch press, with many positive notes on Aiko’s powerful performance.
