Amrit Merten

Actor/Filmmaker

Profile

I was born in Waitakere, Auckland/New Zealand and my home was always a huge children‘s playground. My obsession with film making began when I was 6 years old, when I saw films like Peter Jackson‘s King Kong, BBC’s walking with Dinosaurs or Prehistoric Park with Nigel Marven. It was around that age when I started making short films using my friends as actors or animals. Later on I began making stop motion films with figurines made out of clay and a film set made from card board. A bit later I employed friends and made a series called „Shadow Boy“. The costumes where made out of scrap materials by myself as well.

During that time I discovered my other passion for acting.

So far I have made two independent films which were presented at the Citizens' party of the Federal President in Germany, Image films for the Freie-Schule-Anne-Sophie Berlin , a trailer for Young Schlosspark Theatre Berlin called „Die Möwe“ and a couple of Prehistoric documentaries. I also used my abilities in movies like „Giving Back“ to raise awareness for the not so fortunate people.

In 2018 I have received a scholarship for film making/acting by the Stiftung WÜRTH, Germany.

Currently I am working on a new project as well as performing at the Young Schlosspark Theatre Berlin.
