Nanny ‘Angela’ taking herself a bit too seriously… 😉 Back home in LA and still feeling the lack of sleep with a vengeance from my long Euro tour. My mail is unopened and piled up on the kitchen counter. My email inbox is a stressful situation of exactly that; ‘unopened situations’ and I need to find and go through my receipts for my bookkeeper. Amazing work, loving family, friends and meeting new top of the pop people aside, October has been nothing, but a conniving attention whoring bitch. Pardon my French.
Once again I’m high in the sky somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean trying to put together a few coherent thoughts. Not sure how successful I am so please bare with me. Yesterday I had a fashion / beauty shoot that turned into an 18 hour intermezzo. Our shooting ‘itinerary’ was not planned to be this long, but everything just looked and felt stellar so we carried on into the wee hours shooting. The whole team was awesome, lovely, fast and very talented. It’s key that everybody is on the
It’s sunday and my feet hurt like nobody’s business. Last night 15 of my girls and I were out emancipating the dance floor @ Club Sunday in Copenhagen. Today I realize that my good old and faithful suede Dolce&Gabbana heels have seen better days. It’s my last weekend in Denmark for now and it’s become tradition for us ladies to have at least one rock star night out on town before I go home to LA. So a lot of dining and wining, gossiping, kissing in corners and not telling
Perhaps this is the first time you’ve stumbled over my blog. If that’s the case, welcome and thank you for reading it so far. In case you have followed me during the past months you’ll know that I’ve been back and forth between my home in LA, Denmark and Antwerp. I’m working on different film and TV projects at the moment. A lifestyle and job that I love and cannot get enough of even though it sometimes (very often) means sleepless nights, negotiations and discussions with loved ones and
Friday morning, waaaay too early to even fathom and I’m up getting ready for a full day of shooting. This time I’m working on our documentary on Artificial Life. Last week we got into how synthetic biology and a 3D printer potentially could work together and create magic. This week, we focus on getting footage of personal locations, thoughts and moments. It is as nice as it sounds, but planning to do an outdoor shoot with the sun out in Denmark in late October is a monster of a task,
Let’s be frank. This trip to the neck of my woods, Denmark, has been all work and almost no play. I’m not complaining. On the contrary. I LOVE my job! But packed months, very little sleep, especially last night and 2 hours of hardcore and intensive training @ Energii workout @ 8:30 am this morning I was ready to throw the towel into the ring. Or almost… But I’m not a quitter, I’m a viking ;-). So instead of caving in, I got on my bike and rode 45 minutes
Photography: Kim Prasanna / MUA: Maria Ranum / Hair: Sonja Stevic for MOKE HAIR Last month I shot an ad for the Danish Brand MOKE HAIR. I already posted some of the ‘behind the scene’ and screen shots a while back on the blog. This week I received the final shots that the photographer and client chose for the actual ad. Shooting this gig was a fast and very smooth ride. I was very happily surprised by everyone’s professionalism and creativity on set. Creativity and superb talent is usually the
I am beyond exhausted so this blog will be short. Just got back into Copenhagen after days of planning and covering the newest 3D Printer Workshop in Denmark. My team and I heard about this workshop while filming our documentary about artificial life back in July 2013. And here we are today; Me, myself and a second unit covering everything that moves during the workshop. ‘ I’m lucky. Because with me on location, I have DP Soren Kuhn, who came recommended by very talented TV and film director Kathrine Windfeld,
A while back, I worked together with the talented artist and film director Juan Hein, grandson of the great Piet Hein. We created the movie ‘The Killing of a Danish Swan’ together. On board was also amazing actor Janus Bakrawi. Part of my ‘home work’ was to watch the work of Gaspar Noé. An Argentine film director. You probably know ‘Irreversible’ with Monica Bellucci and Vincent Cassel and perhaps you are familiar with the more recent ‘Enter the Void’. Both movies are on the truly dark side and they deal
I play Babette in the movie ‘The Banksters Madoff with America’ It’s Sunday morning in CPH and I slept in late today. 8 am. Wow! Usually I get up around 6 am, but I guess I needed the extra rest today. Friday was my first real working day in Copenhagen, which made it so busy and on top of that we had the worst new moon in history almost Friday the 4th, which makes everybody nuts and drives havoc on everything we touch. I had a nightmare day to say
