Vietnam, Berlin, Duisburg, the journey of "THIS IS LOVE" is over and now it’s off to the movies. As a humongous thank you to all those involved, here is a little “Behind the scenes”… to be continued…

There is a car crash in scene 16 that can later be seen in a shot with actor Jens Albinus. The close collaboration between the actual shooting on the set, the work added in the studio as well as the digital touch ups is essential. The scene can also be read in excerpts of the script.

A little glimpse into the work of martial arts choreographers and actors.

There is a foursome in the middle of "THIS IS LOVE". Four men and women are happily all over each other. The line in the screenplay describes the moment as follows. “Sex, the way it used to be intended...“. The film gives a quick idea of how the sequence gets started.
