My Work Behind the Camera:
As a filmmaker, I focus on exploring multifaceted themes, with the mental health of artists being a central focus. I'm particularly interested in authentically & empathetically portraying the struggles & challenges artists face in their lives & creative journeys. My projects are characterized by dark & serious elements that evoke a powerful emotional response while also providing space for reflection. I intentionally craft this atmosphere through deliberate use of lighting, editing techniques, & seamless transitions, aiming to create an aesthetically captivating yet profoundly meaningful experience. My goal is to produce films that are both narratively & visually engaging, marked by a distinct personal signature. I see my work as a blend of artistic expression & psychological analysis, inviting viewers to engage with the depicted themes on a deeper level. Each project is an opportunity to explore new creative approaches & add further dimensions to my style.
My Work in Front of the Camera:
As an actor, I feel most at ease in roles defined by complexity and internal contradictions. I specialize in portraying dark characters with combined personality disorders, who captivate through their intelligence, unpredictability, & emotional depth. These figures allow me to strike a balance between darkness & humanity, making them both authentic and multifaceted. My approach to these roles is deeply influenced by my own personality & life experiences. It's important to me not only to portray the conflicts & challenges these characters face convincingly, but also to imbue them with a personal touch. I place great emphasis on nuances in facial expressions, gestures, & speech to capture the depth of the character & leave a lasting impact on the audience. I view each role as an opportunity to better understand both myself & human nature. My goal is to establish a connection with the audience through my performances, taking them on an emotional journey.

Actor (Lecturer), Producer, Writer, Director AMALIA’S PRIME / AMALIA’S HÖHEPUNKT (SHORT FILM / TEASER - DRAMA, GERMANY 2023)
It’s a drama in German with English subtitles. In addition, I wrote a supporting scientific thesis that shows the interaction & mental health between actors & other participants. The title of this thesis is: „What methods can be used to protect and improve both the professional and health position of an actor, including dealing with other participants in the industry?“.
The story revolves around a young drama student who’s very ambitious in pursuing her dream, but still has difficulties in getting her private life under control. In doing so, she not only reaches her own psychological limits, but also endangers her relationships with her fellow human beings:
Amalia, a 35-year-old lady from Stuttgart, Germany who’s currently attending an acting school, which is also in Stuttgart.
She’s an aspiring, ambitious & talented drama student & in each class she attends she gives her highest physical & mental performance to fulfill her childhood dream. However, the only obstacle that bothers her is dealing with her fellow students & the lecturers.
She’s often bullied & discriminated against because of her old age, since her fellow students are all between 15 & 20 years old. Their lecturers ignore this situation because they’re overwhelmed.
In the last year of her training, performing her final showcase at a public theatre, she not only wins the heart & recognition of the audience & the school administration, but is also the only graduate to be accepted by a well-known agency.
