Sky Sharks!

I will be joining the cast of Sky Sharks, a horror comedy directed by Marc Fehse.

Synopsis:
A team of Arctic geologists stumble across an abandoned laboratory in which the Nazis developed an incredible and brutal secret weapon during the final months of WW2. Deep in the ice, they accidentally awake a deadly army of flying zombie sharks ridden by genetically mutated, undead super-humans, who are unleashed into the skies, wreaking their bloodthirsty revenge on any aircraft that takes to the air. An elite task force is assembled to take on this deadly threat and stop the Sky Sharks from conquering the air, but as time runs out, the task force realizes they will have to fight fire with fire, and the stage is set for the greatest flying super-mutant zombie shark air battle the world has ever seen….

Now if that doesn’t sound like a whole bunch of messy fun, I don’t know what does. As an actress, this is an opportunity to just let loose and have an unbridled good time. We start filming next in September.

Shoot with Photographer Nishit Joshi

Nishit Joshi is a photographer from India who recently moved to Munich where I was lucky enough to shoot my new portraits with him. He really understands how light plays on a woman’s face and he was incredibly humble and easy to work with. Here are some of my favorites from our recent shoot.

New Portraits with Photographer Gordon Meissner

Man o man, did I have a fun time shooting with Gordon Meissner in Berlin! It started with Johnny Jo, an amazing makeup artist based in Berlin who made me look beautiful but not too made up – not an easy task, but so important for actors’ portraits. Take a look, this was the picture we snapped when he was done. 

Then we walked over to my empty apartment in Xberg and took full advantage of the summer sun! I got so many good shots out of our shoot! Here are a few of my favorites all done with natural light. Gordon is soooo talented!!!

JJ Schreibt Interviews Me for His Blog

Last week I had the please of being interviewed by Joerg Joachim for his blog. Joerg is a great interviewer and an evocative writer, able to conjure of a mood with just a few words. He asked me lots of probing questions and frankly, got a few things out of me that I hadn’t planned on saying. “What?” you ask, well you’ll just have to read the article! Oh, one caveat — it’s in German.

New Scene “The Other Child”

During the Berlinale, I wrote and recorded a new scene as part of a workshop that I took with casting director, Aleta Chapelle. It’s called “The Other Child”. In it a mother explores her feeling of grief and regret. I love creating characters with several conflicts. People who are being pulled, either through their own devices or outside forces in several directions at once. I think this mother’s dilemma is a good example of this.

Short Scene from 8 Doors

We wrapped filming on the feature film,  8 Doors, last Fall and it’s still in post production, but the director, Juliane Block, was nice enough to give me e copy of one of my scenes in advance. I play a woman who’s husband is having an affair. in this scene I confront my husband’s lover.

Scene From Short Film LIMBO

We wrapped the short film LIMBO several months ago. As I write it’s probably traveling the globe onto fame and glory on the festival circuit, at least I hope so. In the meantime, I’ve got a short snippet of a scene that I acted in with Wilfried Hochholdinger. We play two bereaved parents and one of us is trying to get on with her life while the other is stuck in… well, limbo. The scene won’t give away too much about the movie itself but hopefully will give some insight into me as an actress. Enjoy!
