Amalia's Prime / Amalia's Höhepunkt (Drama, Germany 2023)

AMALIA’S PRIME / AMALIA’S HÖHEPUNKT (SHORT FILM / TEASER - DRAMA, GERMANY 2023)

It’s a drama in German with English subtitles. In addition, I wrote a supporting scientific thesis that shows the interaction & mental health between actors & other participants. The title of this thesis is: „What methods can be used to protect and improve both the professional and health position of an actor, including dealing with other participants in the industry?“.

The story revolves around a young drama student who’s very ambitious in pursuing her dream, but still has difficulties in getting her private life under control. In doing so, she not only reaches her own psychological limits, but also endangers her relationships with her fellow human beings:

Amalia, a 35-year-old lady from Stuttgart, Germany who’s currently attending an acting school, which is also in Stuttgart.

She’s an aspiring, ambitious & talented drama student & in each class she attends she gives her highest physical & mental performance to fulfill her childhood dream. However, the only obstacle that bothers her is dealing with her fellow students & the lecturers.

She’s often bullied & discriminated against because of her old age, since her fellow students are all between 15 & 20 years old. Their lecturers ignore this situation because they’re overwhelmed.

In the last year of her training, performing her final showcase at a public theatre, she not only wins the heart & recognition of the audience & the school administration, but is also the only graduate to be accepted by a well-known agency.
