Sascha Visser has been in hiding since the fierce criticism of his Ferry Doedens documentary erupted. He just doesn’t show himself in the media, hoping it will blow over. “He’s upset.”
According to critics such as Jordi Versteegden, it is unprecedentedly weak that Sascha Visser, known to the general public for his former role in Kees & Co, does not want to respond to the documentary he made about Ferry Doedens. That boy is completely in the ditch and it’s all being spent so that Sascha can send a big invoice to Amazon Prime.
Sascha upset
Sascha also refuses to participate in an article by it A.D. “He decided at the last minute not to answer questions for this article. He was too upset by all the fuss,” he said.
Documentary maker John Appel, whose films include ‘André Hazes: She Believes in Me’, believes that Sascha could have done more. “Certainly. I have often done that, also with André Hazes. You can do a lot in editing.”
‘You have ethics’
Sascha has it all juicy leaving things in that documentary and John finds that questionable. “If someone says things in a fit of anger or drunkenness that they later regret, I don’t use them. Even if it would lead to tense moments. You also have your ethics as a creator.”
He himself only briefly depicted André’s alcohol consumption. “The idea that stuck is that André is constantly opening six-packs, but there is very little beer in the film. I didn’t want to confirm the prejudice. Otherwise the emphasis is wrong.”
