CASTING
Usually I don’t make a blog post about Castings, as they are constantly a part of my every month, but this month I did a very big casting in Spanish!

Wow, luckily I took an editing course last year, so i can kind off get a first draft on my short, but editing is really such an art, I look forward to finding someone who can help me with it! haha
FILMFEST
Back at the Filmfest Munich! One of my favorite festivals in Germany, especially when the weather is making up its mind! It’s such a fun and informative time visiting all the fantastic panels, talks and get-togethers, and I also had the chance to see a few great films! My favorite film recommendation of this year: „Ben and Suzanne – A Reunion in Four Parts“ dir. by Shaun Seneviratne
WORKSHOP
As always we had our monthly round table with the Andersson System folks, but also I had the chance to take a Cold Reading Workshop this month with Sigrid Andersson! Have I mentioned how cool this system is? Love learning and training the acting muscle! ❤
COMMERCIAL
I got to do the most fun commercial shoot yet at the Upside Down Berlin! I rarely do modeling gigs, but when I do it’s always a blast. We had so much fun in all the crazy rooms of this Social Media Experience, the pictures and videos turned out so great!
JUNE 2024
SHORT FILM

WORKSHOP
Finally I got to learn the full Andersson 10-er Block System! A two weekend course as an actor test person, as the course is actually a coaching training, so I basically had the absolut honor and blast to learn this system from 6 people at the same time! Can’t wait to use it for jobs and castings!
CASTINGS
So many castings this week! An actors work is mostly invisible really, we submit for so many things daily, we shoot so many scenes that never see the day of light… I’m not picky when it comes to auditioning, be it a feature or student film, and even if you don’t book it, it’s a way to stay training and a chance to act! I have to say, I really love castings!
MAY 2024
WORKSHOPS
Been continuing working with Sigrid Andersson and the Andersson System and I have to say I love it! Such a great approach to characters and scenes 🙂 First part of the 10-er Block is at the end of the month! Can’t wait!
