It’s always a joy and a pleasure to work with Germany’s finest, the DFFB filmschool in Berlin, and to support up and coming filmakers.
I play the lead role of “DONNA” in “Blinder Fleck”, written and directed by Luis Schubert.
The cast also includes: Sarina Radomski, Leon Ullrich, and Lia von Blarer.
Thank you so much to the Bayrischer Rundfunk, for interviewing me during this year’s Berlinale, on all things intimacy coordination!

GOOSEBUMPS…
What a JOY: combining my two passions, nay….missions, in this life - acting and boxing.
Directed by the amazing JOHN HILLCOAT, I played the boxing trainer opposite German boxing champ ZEINA NASSAR, a true role-model for girls and women world-wide.
Zeina single-handedly changed the rules of the game and the face of boxing, so as to allow every woman to compete in the boxing ring. Amazing!

I’m delighted to have been invited by WDR radio to talk at length about the important topic of intimacy coordination and best practice on set in the wake of the Weinstein scandal and the #metoo and #timesup movement.
You can listen to the interview (in German) by clicking on the link here: https://www1.wdr.de/radio/wdr5/sendungen/neugier-genuegt/redezeit-julia-effertz-100.html
This is very important - and change is needed. For actor safety, and for better intimate scenes.
Thank you to WDR 5 and moderator Anja Backhaus for taking the time to talk to me. It’s been an absolute pleasure.

With Harvey Weinstein’s trial starting in January 2020, one can definitely feel a change within our industry - and over here in Germany, people are starting to take notice of this “new thing” called Intimacy Coordination - and the fascinating new profession of the Intimacy Coordinator.
I am both proud and humbled to be able to share this important, powerful practice, and its Intimacy Guidelines (develped by Ita O’Brien and Intimacy on Set) - in the context of the Weinstein trial, I have been interviewed by several media outlets, including Bayrischer Rundfunk, Das Ding, SWR, and Edition F. For further info, and to listen to/read my interviews, just click on the images below!
Here’s to #bestpractices and #workplacesafety for actors, so that we can create fantastic, juicy, and daring intimate content!
