Wesley Howard is the creator, writer and director of a new series called, “Escape”. It’s wonderfully written with a brave and endearing hero named Pablo. I play Diane who is Pablo’s lover. The series is a unique take on a difficult theme – that of sex trafficking. In spite of the heavy theme there is still quite a lot of levity written into it to help alleviate some of the horror. We will begin filming in September and I can’t wait.
This month I had a chance to work of something very unique: a short film entitled “Mama’s Coffin” about America’s Old West. It was produced for the University of Film and Television, or the HFF as its known here in Munich, and directed by Moritz Schloegell. I had no idea that there’s actually a thriving community of Old West fans here in Bavaria and they were kind enough to supply the costumes and location for one of the scenes. Here’s a peek at the full costume I got to wear.
I love it! This was the first time I got to wear a costume from an era that I didn’t live through myself. I played Abigail Boone, an embittered woman too disappointed with her son to show him any kind of affection – which I have to say – is truly about as far away from the real me as you can get. But, it was a blast to play!
Title: Mama’s Coffin, Directed by: Moritz Schloegell, DOP: Markus Schindler, Producer: Matthias Ring, Costume: Tamara Müller
I got to play an 80’s loving life coach who said things like “WTF peeps, get it together!”. How fun is that?
Regie: Nicolas Ritter
