Claudia is a camera assistant from Munich in Germany. And, above all, my "baby" sister.
For close to ten years now, she has been honing her craft in film and cinema, steadily rising up in the camera ranks. Her passion and joy are absolutely infectious, despite the obvious stigma of this particular adjective of late.
She has been a part of many big German film and TV productions, working with some of the finest German actors, directors, and camera operators.
I am extremely proud of her and I couldn't be happier to have her on board today to discuss with her the challenges cinema is facing during a pandemic and what it is like to be a woman in a still largely male dominated field.
Welcome to the Yellow Van, Claudi!
