Hi! I'm Sally, a 21 year old young filmmaker. These past many years I've been gathering experience in the field, particularly in scriptwriting, which is my biggest joy. Last year I attended The European Film College, a 8½ month basic film course. Here I got to try many things among which my biggest achievements have been to write and direct a fantasy themed short film, "Old D. Q. & Mr. K" and a poetic stop motion tribute to my big idol Tim Burton, "Left-brained Larry & Right-brained Rachel". The last-mentioned has had a lot of acclaim, first of all watched by thousands here on the internet, but is also going to be screened at its first festival, Cinéglobe, in February 2010.

I have since made a stop motion commercial for the new product, "Fruto Wash", which will soon be screened at the official site. In making the commercial, I also founded my own production company "Kitty Fish Productions". A website will follow soon.

Presently I am working on several projects, one of which, a stop motion project, "City Tales", I am writing with my fellow film student friend, Ina Fischlin (we co-wrote and co-directed "Old D. Q. & Mr. K" together). "City Tales" is planned to be finished in autumn 2010.

In the mean time, smaller stop motion projects will follow. I spend most of my time in the guest room of my parent's house which I have transformed to a small workshop where I draw production designs, make props, dolls, sets etc. and animate little bits and pieces that are sure to be uploaded as we go along. The Kitty Fish is being born.

I am writing on several scripts - some stop motion, some live action, some a mix. I take it as it comes, I write when I'm inspired, and I start a project when the script is ready. We'll see what happens.
