Directioners
One direction fans, apparently called ‘Directioners’ will know that later on this year the boys will be starring in a film about their concerts called ‘This is Us’. The boys will also be hitting our TV screens this summer as there will be a one off documentary shown about directioners. It will be called I heart One Direction and will explore how social media and websites have created an online community for these fans and enabled them to interact with the band itself.
A lady called Daisy Asquith is the master mind behind this documentary and Emma Cooper who is Commissioning Editor at Channel 4, is excited about this project as she thinks its brilliant to have Daisy Asquith involved “who [she] know will make a young and joyful documentary that will give a voice to the millions of the 1D fans who love and follow them obsessively.”
So do keep a look out for that this summer and don’t forget One Directions movie will be in cinemas on 29th August.
