My husband Michael and I have been deeply involved in a short fantasy film based on "Das Schwarze Auge" (The Black Eye) - the German equivalent of the pen and paper game "Dungeons and Dragons". Michael was involved as an actor, I was on set as resident artist.

The script was written by Lennart Lafaire and Florian Moritz, a Rembrandt fan, directed.  Incredible attention to detail was given to the props, mostly lovingly crafted by Samuel Fischer. It was all filmed locally, which is quite amazing considering we are in rural Switzerland.  

I am delighted to say I made several of the props (such as the map of Tobrien), designed the film poster (a woodcut print) and drew the "making of". My drawings also feature in the credits at the end of the film. The official trailer will be released on 7th July. I'm hoping to be able to print my "Making of" drawings as a book in the near future. I'll keep you posted.

I am really proud to have been part of the team. I'm even going to offer some merch items - which is a bit scary, but it is an amazing project to be involved in. Actors include Annalena Miano, Cécile Gschwind, Gabriel Stohler-Mauch and Mateo Gudenrath
