Her big-screen debut came in the film "That Night" in 1992, followed by a role in Steven Soderbergh's poignant drama "King of the Hill" in 1993.

Abstract: This bachelor thesis aims to compare the novel The Cider House Rules, written by John Irving in 1985, and its film adaptation (Miramax, 1999). After a short introduction of the writer and his work, the thesis compares the most important differences between the story featured in the original and the adaptation. The main part of the thesis deals with changes made for individual characters in the context of limitations of film as medium. In chapter 5 the thesis aims to impartially refer to the controversial topic of abortions and how the question of abortions differs in the novel and in the film.

Identities that are performed and mediated through a relationship between flmmaker and participant are examined with detailed reference to two decades of my own practice. A refexive, feminist approach engages my own flms - and the relationships that produced them - in analysis of the ethical potholes and emotional challenges in representing others on TV. The trigger for this research was the furiously angry reaction of the One Direction fandom to my representation of them in Crazy About One Direction (Channel 4, 2013). This offered an opportunity to investigate the potential for shame in documentary; a loud and clear case study of flmed participants using social media to contest their image on screen. -
