GREAT WRITERS INSPIRE. Alexander Fodor's writers touch shines through in his movie DEAD AND AWAKE. The scene between Amy (Funda Onal) and Emily (Renate Morley) is touching and deep. Emily: 'Would you mind if I take your photograph?' Amy: 'I'd really rather you didn't.' Emily: 'I was not hoping to take a photograph of you but your emotions.' What an original thought! A camera which can record what we often try to hide.

Self-Taped audition in German for a farming commercial.

OSCAR NIGHT 2015. The Academy Awards are here again. I once was part of the International Berlin Film Festival and was awarded the German Acadeny 'Film Award in Gold' for best actress in the film 'Interview' with Red Carpet and glitter-drenched events. Good luck to all fellow actors who are nominated.

SELF-TAPING Second time casting directors have asked me to film myself and upload the video file via email. Looks like more and more is expected of actors. This is an image from my self-taped endeavour, playing a well-heeled lady who gives a sales assistant a hard time. The script is just hilarious. Not so much fun is the self-filming. It goes like this: First short-listed. Then comes the script, learning lines, putting on the slap, dressing up, staying calm, editing all, loading up and despite all the effort, may not getting the part. That's the life of an actor. BINGO
