Hamburg (DPA) – Actress Eva Haberman is indebted to a filmmaker, not just a new man by her side, but a new passion.

Instead of standing in front of the camera as usual, the Hamburg native now produces “independent films”, some of which are international actors and sometimes very bizarre. The 45-year-old (“Our Farm in Ireland”) told the German Press Agency that she had the courage to slip from the role of actress to the role of producer into a network of happy coincidences.

“During the filming of Trolls World, I fell in love with one of the producers, and after finishing filming with her new partner’s production company, the 45 – year – old girl suddenly moved to Baden-Baden to lend a hand.” Time was like an internship for me. It showed me how much I can learn and how much I enjoy filmmaking. “

The fact that Haberman does not want to limit herself to the creative implementation of her cinematic ideas can be seen in her third self-produced film, “Syst,” which will be released on October 22, and she has US colleagues like Jason Douglas (“The Walking Dead”) and trash cult star Greg Cestro. In horror comedy, the actress takes on the role of an honest nurse who follows a killer cyst monster after a failed experiment.

However, she is not afraid to intimidate her regular audience with such strange objects. “I still do regular series like ‘Das Tramshif’, but you have to do something extraordinary to be noticed as a freelance filmmaker,” she said.
