What documentary director Isa Willinger enjoys most about shooting her films is the observational style – describing it as full of poetry. In our conversation we also touch on the value and depth of long friendships, the experience of watching & dancing to Dirty Dancing as a teen and the importance of leaving one’s comfort zone more fearlessly. It was a pleasure - Enjoy!

When make-up and special effects artist Lydia Geissler doesn’t dream about living under water, she re-considers her almost career choice of criminal investigator. We talked about her love for the movie Carol, the wonderful 1980-ies series Fantaghirò and the joy of a weekend breakfast with lots of time to savor it. It was a blast – enjoy!

It was a joy to talk to actor Enzo Brumm – about the invisible work of acting (hint: lots of reading) or filmmaking in general, his love for a great Steak Frites, the beauty of nature (Norway is a favorite) and why a bit more action and less talking might be the way to go. We had a blast – Enjoy!
