On Set of Soko Kitzbühel Season 19
And a little spoiler on YouTube (with English subtitles):

This week (21. April, 2020) aired the episode of Soko Kitzbühel, a beloved Austrian crime show, in which I got to play the part of Alice Valka 🥰 I hope you already watched it, nevertheless I tried to keep it spoiler free-ish (you’ll find a link to my scenes at the end).

On Set of the Filmakademie – Cockroach
Cockroach… What a title 😉 This summer, I got an audition at the Filmakademie in Vienna – one of the better known teachers there being the great Austrian film director Michael Haneke (If you don’t know him yet, better go check him out ^^). Eventually I got cast in this project “Cockroach” and another one, “Sangre del Toro”. This post is about my experience on set of Cockroach, and the short is there too.

Weird auditions – the Casting Couch feeling
Or why you should never go to an audition on your own 😉
Last month I had an audition that totally gave me the creeps – that’s why I’m glad I brought my friend with me. But I’m jumping ahead 🙂

On Set of the Mercedes-Benz Commercial
… and well, that’s that actually; I was on the set of the Mercedes-Benz Commercial, but in the end our super awesome squad was cut from the final version 😉
Mercedes-Benz X-Class Commercial Campaign
Location: Ljubljana, Slovenia
Date: Summer 2017
Production: Markenfilm (Germany), BAS Production (Slovenia)
Agency: Lukas Lindemann Rosinski, Hamburg
Director: Jan Wentz
Exec. Creative Director: Arno Lindemann (Mercedes Instagram Post by Arno Lindemann)
Costume Design: Charlotte Chadwick & Damir Raković Ponorelii
Cast: Annalena Kubinger (Marie Antoinette) and Manca Kaplan, Jernej Indihar, Gasper and more (=super awesome squad)
I had a lot of fun filming this international commercial, and I got to shoot a few behind the scenes moments.
Showreel 2018
A showreel, or (actor’s) reel is more important to an actor than a business card. More or less, it IS a business card. So every actor has to make sure, that his (or her) best material is on it – and that it’s in the right order.
So after coming back to Austria, I’ve collected some footage to make a new one. More about the process and some videos down below 🙂
New Website Online
Finally, my new website is finished, up and running:
It took me a long time to make one – or get someone to make one for me – but now it looks like I’ve got myself a birthday present. Read more about my official actor’s website below.
Personal Life: One more month in L.A.
After my first two months in L.A. my student visa is running out – but just in time I got the chance to work on another project while I am here. Which meant that I had to cancel my flight back home and book a new one. It also meant, that I’m still not getting everything done that I had planned to do – like replying to messages I got after the New Year’s Concert.
I promise I will get to all of them after my current project is done. Also, I promise that I will post a blog entry once a week starting this week. (And this week I’m already doing it :D) I loved the messages I got from all around the world and it means so much to me that people actually watched my work and enjoyed it.
My next project will be quite dark though. I’m not going to spoil it, but I can say this much: It’s called “Love Fiercely” and it is a short film about a girl with depression.
Currently I am living with the girl who is playing the other lead, and it turned out that we are both German speakers. Doesn’t mean that we are actually talking in German though 😉
So this is it for now, I have to get back to work and write a letter as my character (you will see it in the movie later).
All the best from Hollywood, L.A.
Love, Annalena
