An Postproduktion war da noch nicht zu denken. Ich filmte alles chronologisch und reihte alle Szenen aneinander ohne irgendetwas weg zu schneiden, Effekte einzublenden, Color Grading o.\u00e4. Wenn ich zum Beispiel einen Titel einblenden wollte, filmte ich am Anfang ein mit dem Filmtitel beschriebenes Blatt ab.

It was incredibly fun! And the kids were really into it. On the last day of the project the performance took place and I was very proud of my littleactors. Some of the children told me that thanks to the project they now want to join a permanent theatre group. That touched my heart, but also gave me the confirmation to continue.A few weeks after the theatre project, my husband, with whom I now run the film agency with, had a job as cameraman for a home movie for the ARD. He took me with him to the set, because I had neverbefore been &#8220;only&#8221; behind the scenes on a set, but had always led a double life as an actress and observer. I didn&#8217;t know yet &#8211; is it really something for me or will I not want to be on the other side? Afterall, I am an actress and I love acting. But the days on the set showed me the opposite: behind the camera, that&#8217;s exactly my thing. And there was and is no jealousy towards the actresses because I enjoy it just as much behind the camera.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My husband Christian is a cameraman and was CEO of a production company, but he wanted to set up a creative full-service film agency that would take care of everything from conception to shooting and post-production. And I had wanted to write and direct scripts and concepts for ages. So without further ado we got together and founded the agency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-cgb-infobox infobox\"><h3><strong>Anne, (almost) alone among men!<\/strong><\/h3><span><p><\/p><\/span>\n<p>There are significantly fewer women than men in the director scene. In Germany, only 15 percent of the directors registered in the &#8220;Bundesverband Regie&#8221; are female, although there are as many female and male directing graduates in Germany. But that is certainly not due to the lack of quality of the films&#8217; lack of success.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>For example, have you heard of Catherine Hardwicke?<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>She is to blame for the &#8220;Twilight&#8221; fever.

In the meantime I cast actors myself, instead of always be jazzed at castings. And we worked with a real Hollywood actor: Danny Trejo. To risk a lot and to believe in our vision has already paid off completely. I feel competent on both sides because I can understand them both. And when I go to auditions as an actress, I&#8217;m not under so much pressure to get this job now to be able to pay myrent. They are two pillars that complement each other wonderfully, but also give me more existential security. This security is very important, especially now that I will soon be a mummy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/intombi.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/FB_IMG_1552035757862-1-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6348\" data-link=\"https:\/\/intombi.de\/?attachment_id=6348\" class=\"wp-image-6348\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intombi.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/FB_IMG_1552035757862-1-819x1024.jpg 819w, https:\/\/intombi.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/FB_IMG_1552035757862-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/intombi.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/FB_IMG_1552035757862-1-768x960.jpg 768w, https:\/\/intombi.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/FB_IMG_1552035757862-1.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 819px) 100vw, 819px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Photo: Anne Berndt<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"774\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/intombi.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Anne-2017-07-30-2164-01-774x1024.jpeg\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"6352\" data-link=\"https:\/\/intombi.de\/?attachment_id=6352\" class=\"wp-image-6352\" srcset=\"https:\/\/intombi.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Anne-2017-07-30-2164-01-774x1024.jpeg 774w, https:\/\/intombi.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Anne-2017-07-30-2164-01-227x300.jpeg 227w, https:\/\/intombi.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/Anne-2017-07-30-2164-01-768x1016.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 774px) 100vw, 774px\" \/><figcaption class=\"blocks-gallery-item__caption\">Photo: Jean Paul Denny<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Compatibility of work and private life &#8211; was also a big issue for me<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>When I studied acting, I didn&#8217;t know yet &#8211; how do I get it all done?

Not just dreaming &#8211; doing! There are so manyopportunities for that: A school internship, the Girls-Day, talking to people who already have that dreamjob, have a side job in the dream area, just inform you about it&#8230; and don&#8217;t expect everything to be perfect when you actually take the job. Because nothing is perfect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In every profession there are challenges and especially if you live your dream, the fear that this dream might burst is normal. I have also received many rejections for roles as an actress and was even cut out of a film once. And even with CREAVE not all planned projects came true. Yes, these are defeats, but (maybe especially in the media world) one must not bury one&#8217;s head in the sand!
