In 2001 she founded the film production company Komplizen Film with Janine Jackowski and together they produced Maren Ade’s final film “The Forest for the Trees” at the film academy in 2003. The film received several honours, including the Special Jury Award at the Sundance Film Festival in 2005. During that same year it was nominated for the German Film Award.
