Besnik Prekazi
Actor / Trevor

I was really excited to be cast for the leading role of Trevor. When I first read the script, I was immediately drawn to the unique narrative of the story. It was somewhat of a challenge for me to play a character that had both protagonist and antagonist qualities. It was a real pleasure to work on such a smooth-running production; everything was planned out down to the smallest details.

I’m a German-Kosovar actor living in Munich. After studying acting I have been in many independent productions and been cast as both leading and supporting roles in a number of German TV films and series. I myself have a real passion for screenwriting some of which are in the early stages of pre-production.

I speak English, German, Albanian, Serbo-Croatian as well different accents of these languages. I like martian-arts, swimming, modern dance and jazz.

Raphael Nicholas
Actor / Darias

The attention to detail with which Clive approached the project was extraordinary.  In animating the first half of the movie (depicting actors, landscape, camera positions) Clive enabled camera crew and cast to imagine each scene before it was actually shot. This ensured efficiency and saved so much time.

I was born in Bavaria and grew up on a farm in a German/English bi-lingual family. I have always felt that national identity is not important and see myself as European. Because the cast and crew of “Real Time” came from all over Europe, working on the project felt like an European heaven.

Since 2008, I have worked professionally as an actor. I enjoy playing both funny, awkward characters and evil unpredictable roles. Playing Darias was a big challenge but also very enjoyable as I felt supported by the whole team.

Camelia Chirtes
Actress / Simone

I loved working with the “Real Time” team and was impressed by Svetla’s and Clive’s professionalism and structured approach to filmmaking. The training with the stunt choreographers was surely one of the highlights for me – challenging, tedious but definitely a fun experience!

I am a Transylvanian-born polyglot theatre and film actress trained in method acting. I have performed on European, Australian and American stages and I am focusing on TV and film projects at the moment. I am a music lover and a world traveler with a deep appreciation for culture and the arts and I am fascinated by the human mind. I hold a M.A. degree in Philosophy and I keep my left brain hemisphere engaged with Digital Marketing projects.

Timofej Timofejev
Actor / Axel

Real Time is a major experience for me. Playing the character of Axel gave me the opportunity to progress in my acting skills. My highlight was the murder scene. Its reproduction was a great experience for me.

Music, film and especially acting is what I am passionate for. I am always on the lookout for new inspiring projects and love meeting people who share the same love for this art.

Constanze Keller
Actress / Rose Gillian

I loved the plot of “Real Time” from the start and got along with the director Clive right away. I had such a good time on set. A great crowd of professionals: friendly, funny, concentrated. I’m really excited to be part of it

„I love one-takes but I will do a 17th take if it means everyone on set is happy.“

I am a German-American bilingual actress from Mainz, Germany, and work in film and theater. I enjoy learning new skills, collecting new experiences, and working with people who love what they do. I go for good films with great stories. You might have seen me as Madeleine in the DJI cinematic possibilities film on the Inspire 2.

Professionally, I am a Wild-Card who will kill a chicken or shave her head. In private I am crafty, love to try new recipes for baking or cooking, and to take care of the plants in my garden.

Steven Jones
Actor / The Customer

The entire cast and crew displayed a highly professional attitude towards the making of the film. I was particularly impressed by the animated storyboard, which helped me share the director’s vision and know exactly what to expect on the day of the shoot. The atmosphere on set was amazing and everyone seemed to feel very comfortable and motivated throughout the entire process. All in all it was a fantastic experience! 

Born on the outskirts of London in 1987 and raised in Germany, I am a bilingual actor and clinical psychologist with a passion for filmmaking. I have a strong background in theatre dating back to 2010. My studies of the psychological processes underlying human behaviour has had a great impact on how I interpret and approach different roles. 

Besides acting, I have been an athlete for as long as I can recall, learning a broad range of skills across different sports. It also allowed me to develop the ability to learn new skills in little time – the most notable being a realistic stage fight in a modern adaptation of Macbeth.

My second major passion is music. I write music and as a guitarist, I have been fortunate enough to tour throughout Germany with a number of bands.
