'EVIL SPIRITS' - A song about depression... and
a music video with a powerful message...
"EVIL SPIRITS" was written and composed by Jennifer when she was living in London and became the singer of a new band called "Blue Tongue Sly" which sadly didn't last very long. The song stuck with Jennifer and it became her big wish to produce it professionally and create a musicvideo for it to increase the intensity of the subject matter of the song and the positive message with images. The song deals with depression and the state people who suffer from this illness can find themselves in. The title "Evil Spirits" is not be seen in a literal way but rather as a symbolic interpretation of the dark thoughts one can be overpowered by when suffering from a depression. The song's chorus is about the encouragement to be stronger than the illness and to try and free yourself from "its claws".
Jennifer was lucky to be able to collaborate with established music producer Laszlo de Trèbes on this track and to record at equally established Thierry Bousquet's studio in Paris and get him to mix the song, too.

'Naked dreams' - SHORTFILM
"NAKED DREAMS" was Jennifer's debut as a screen writer, co-director and co-producer playing equally the lead role. This short film - 13 min.in length - follows Joanna as she wakes up from a sensual yet slightly disturbing dream with her lover David. From the moment she opens her eyes, she relives their story - via flashbacks and voice overs letting us in on her thoughts and feelings - from their first touch to first date to intimate moments of shared happiness and romance. As she goes out for a run and reflects on what went on between them, emotions are running high as it is revealed that not all was "happy days" between them and Joanna has to face the truth about David. She questions her own decisions and moral consequences in starting a relationship with him.....
NAKED DREAMS is about love and desire, connectivity and juxtaposing living in a dreamworld and facing reality with all its consequences.
The film was screened at Shortfilm Festivals internationally, notably in Paris, Los Angeles and near Frankfurt.
