Isabella Freilinger

About me

I love to create characters with all my heart. I love to be inspired by by them, to laugh and cry with them, to discover their most exciting traits and deepest psychological truths.

I have acted in German, Austrian, British, American and Mexican films, TV and theatre productions. They were screened internationally at cinemas and on TV in Europe, the US, Asia and Africa.

For my acting I was awarded among others with the Sky TV Award, the Audience Award at the ARFF Filmfestival and the prize for Best Film at the Phoenix Comicon.

My first language is German. I speak English on the level of a a first language as I have lived in the UK for many years and have worked for many American productions. I also speak fluent French and have lived and worked in France. I also speak Spanish and some Italien.

I believe that constant learning is essential for my work. I was last part of the Acting Masterclass at Berlinale Talents. I teach improvisational acting myself. 

I am an absolute teamplayer and love to create together on set. I believe that  good communication is most important for working together well. In my free time I love to do sports (swimming, yoga, hiking, surfing, skying, climbing, dancing).
