WEB SERIES:
"KUNTERGRAU"
The new, gay web series "KUNTERGRAU", where I played grandma Margarethe, had it's premiere in Koeln on January 29, 2016 to a very happy and excited crowd! All 5 episodes of the first season were shown along with an interview session with the main 5 actors along with a brief fund raising part to raise money for the second season.
This was a wonderful collaboration between the organization anyway koeln http://www.anyway-koeln.de/jugendliche/ and the film production company moviio http://movi.io/ and was a project created and produced from young gay men in Koeln between the ages of 18 & 27. I just added a bit of color to the project! The trailer doesn't show all the conflicts and daily struggles that the guys have in their daily lives which is the basis of the series. Some of the moments are very touching and the wonderful camera and editing work from Max Jonas Fohrbeck is top and the music from Max Kelm provides a wonderful atmosphere and the directors Kai Kreuser, Nick Schröder and Maik Scholz as well as the rest of the team and cast rounded it all out!
Some excerpts of an article about the premiere and the series (about the character Oma Margarethe) first in German and then directly translated into English:
Alle lieben Oma Margarete - und einige besonders Lukas
Everyone loves grandma Margarethe - and some especially love Lukas
Besonders ins Herz schloss das Publikum bei der Premiere Oma Margarethe (Kathleen Renish), die ab Folge 3 neu zu Kuntergrau hinzustößt. Obwohl sie nur eine Nebenrolle spielt, sorgte sie mit ihrem amerikanischen Akzent und ihrer herzlich offenen Art für viel Schmunzeln und Lacher im Publikum.
The audience's favorite character of the premiere was grandma Margarethe (Kathleen Renish) who jumps into the series as of episode 3. Although she only has a supporting role, with her American accent and open, warm style, she managed to bring many laughs and chuckles from the audience.
Als sie versehentlich in Leopolds Zimmer hineinstürmt und ihm beim Wichsen stört, hält sie danach eine Ansprache auf die Normalität des Masturbierens: "Du musst dich nicht schämen. Das ist ganz normal. Das machen viele Männer." Schöner hätte es auch Schwulenmutti Debbie aus der Serie "Queer As Folk" nicht sagen können.
As she inadvertently ran into Leopold's room while he was in the middle of masturbating, she then conducted a speech about the normalcy of masturbation. "You shouldn't feel ashamed. It's totally normal. All men do that.". This couldn't have been better said by the "fag hag" Debbie from the series, "Queer As Folk" .
