B I M I F F I N T E R V I E W 07Still on the acting, how was the challengeof directing actresses with such a large agedifference, but who excellently deliver thisbrief and revealing dialogue betweenstudent and teacher?And reading gives you the knowledge and takes your mind on a journey ofcreativity and imagination. Art is to be experienced and shared. I amforever grateful to my parents for their love of us, the arts, and their strongfaith in God.The Challenge was for me, how theyboth will act together or how thechemistry will be. But it went all finewhen we did the rehearsals. They bothunderstood each other very well. Thismade also my advises as a directoreasier. I think it was a lot of luck too,that both – Sarah and Alba – workedgood together and we all listened verycareful to each other. Also makingrehearsals before the shooting is soimportant for actors and a director.How has "Milas Tagebuch" been received infilm festivals in Switzerland and abroad?Very good. I was so surprised how goodit was received and specially how manyworldwide Awards, Trophy’s andHonorable Mentions came along.That’s something no one of my teamexpected. But I think it’s also the topicof the movie which is a worldwideproblem on schools and so it receivedattention. The movie was receivedbetter on film festivals abroad than inSwitzerland. Switzerland is verydifficult to get attention, because theydon’t have any independent film sceneher. But let’s hope, maybe there will bea chance here too.The story of friendship andcompanionship between Mila and Elodie isinspiring and touching. Has the film beenshown in schools in order to address in aneven more practical way these issues suchas bullying, prejudice, racism, and respectfor diversity among young people andchildren? If not, is this in your plans for theproject?The director Gabriel da Silva (right) and actress Sarah Mantel (left))But yes definitely it would be a impact if kids could see those issues likebullying, prejudice, racism in a fictional story. Especially to show them,what kind of consequences this can have. This topic so serious that I think itshould be a duty to teach it to children and teenager and also show howmuch words have power to hurt someone. But after all, we adults are inresponsible what we live in front of our kids or what kind of education wegive to them. Kids observe a lot of adults and their behaviors, which theycan mimic it later. So I hope that more schools will be open to show themovie.By living for 5 years in Brazil, you can access more deeply the Brazilian cinema,which is rich in unforgettable figures of the 7th Art. Do you have any Brazilianfilmmaker(s) in your list of cinematographic references?There are many, but two Brazilian filmmakers I like most: FernandoMereilles and Anna Muylaert. I think they make movies with a big socialimpact and that’s also what I am doing. I like very much their messages andcinematographic stile and it’s a inspiration for my future movies.It is one of my plans, yes. The moviewas shown on a private TV Channel,and of course in Alba’s real school.
B I M I F F I N T E R V I E W 08The aforementioned "Der Lautlose Schrel" is your first feature film as a director, can you tell us more about how this new challengein your career has been?Well first of all: This movie isn’t finished and released yet. We still in the post-production. The biggest challenge therewas that I played one of the two main roles. This is a double burden which I will never do it again. That almost destroyedmy health so I had to make a break for 2 years. So in my next feature film, I won’t play the main character again. A featurefilm of course gives you as a filmmaker a lot more attention that a short film. But is always better to start with small shortfilms which are realistic to be made according to the budget."Milas Tagebuch" film sceneYour career as an actor began in 2009, but you discovered yourself as a filmmaker only in 2015. In your 13-year career in the filmindustry, you have completed several projects both in front of and behind the cameras. Can you tell us more about your plans forthe future after the completion of your first feature film?Finishing my feature film is a main goal right now. I have many short film projects waiting to be realized next year. Someof them I did in 2022. Also I shot another movie with Alba – who played Mila in Milas Diary. In this new movie the topic isabout Climate Change and environmental protection. Again here she did a great job and our next movie is coming. Oneof my personally biggest dreams is to make a TV-Series or Online Series. What I most like about this Genre is, that youcan create a world and characters and follow them for a long time, sometimes several season or even years. That’sfascinating because your personality can grow with the character and you can see how he/she changes or gets maturedetc. That’s something you don’t have for so long in a normal movie, where the story is told in one or two hours. But Iwould be very happy to shoot one day in Brazil a movie, series or as a actor. Who knows, I am opened to where God willlead me.
