“Virginia & Juliane about Kinks:

How did you get to work together?

Juliane: When I finished my first feature Emperor I already thought about the next film. And there was one thing I haven’t tried out yet – Acting. I knew Virginia from some Indie film meetings in Kuala Lumpur and thought maybe it’s a great fit. I knew she was keen on directing her first feature, so I approached her. First, just with the idea of having collaborative writing sessions, but to tell the truth I already thought about asking her as director or co-director at an early stage.

Things progressed and Virginia came on board!

Virginia: The first time I saw Juliane she was selling a short film she had made and I was blown away by this opinionated German woman’s strength. She was fiery and powerful. I was too scared to even make contact with her. I hid in the back and made a silent escape. The second time I met her, a film distribution friend of mine thought I should meet this “female” director. It was Juliane! Up close and personal we actually had a lot in common and I realized I had as many if not more scary qualities like her. And honestly she is FAR from scary. She is strong and honest and all great qualities. I was so lucky to meet her. Julie said she had an idea for a feature film and I was looking to work with someone who made things happen. Juliane was that someone!”

Being immersed in a foreign culture is both shocking and illuminating, as you constantly run up against your own cultural barriers and socio-centric thinking while simultaneously learning about and exposing the idiosyncrasies of the culture you’re a guest in.

In addition to embracing new ways of doing things (Ex. “When it’s hot, sharing a bowl of steaming soup with your friends is better than eating a triple decker ice cream cone.”), the best thing about living abroad is the break-down of social barriers that allows you to get to know people in an entirely new way.

The sorts of conversations that are taboo in America were small talk in China: “What’s your nationality?” (They didn’t assume that white + speaking English = American.) “Can I touch your hair?” (Some of the younger Chinese students, as well as strangers on the street and on the bus, had never seen hair as curly or as blonde as mine.) “Why do you dress like a boy?” (I was there just after college and in a major David Byrne oversized jacket phase.) “I hear America is like heaven: what’s it like to live in paradise?” (I had no idea how to answer this question: I’d just run away from all post-college decision-making by signing up to teach English in a far off land.)

[...]

And yet the project stuck in our brains. Here are the questions that emerged up for us, questions we’d love to get feedback from YOU on:

• How does something like this fit into the current climate in the U.S. (or the country YOU live in)?
• How does this fit into what indie filmmakers are currently doing to garner interest in their movies?
• Who, in the U.S. (or the country you live in), is the audience for this type of humor?

Los Angeles, June 22, 2011 – VOLGER TV announced today a world wide search for reality show contestants. LA based Producer Jay Volger said she is looking for “original and exciting” contestants for her Mixed Race Reality Dating show KINKS via www.kinksreality.tv.

Volger has completed filming the first series of her show, a mixed race dating show where contestants compete to show skills in cultural understanding to win their match. She shot in Malaysia, with participants from Australia and America but is now looking for more contestants for Series 2. Volger launched the contest in front of television executives and media today. The competition will be run on You Tube www.youtube.com/kinksrealitytv until September 30th 2011.

Interested competitors need to answer three questions or send in a video. Competition eligibility and entry requirements can be found at www.kinksreality.tv. One reporter asked if she was judging, Volger replied, “no, the public will judge, if you get Kinks Reality TV the most followers you can win”. The competition requires contestants to answer why they would want to marry a foreigner on video or questionaire. Anders Wong, director of KINKS said that “videos will help to show off their personality”.

Volger is in negotiations with several international networks and the first series of KINKS should go to air later this year. The Malaysian Minister of Cultural and Moral Standards, Datuk Kok, commented that – “KINKS was very exciting for Malaysian Tourism. Jay Volger’s show will be showing a side of Malaysia a lot of Malaysian’s have not seen yet.” When asked if Kinks Series 2 would be shot in Malaysia, Volger announced “I am looking at either Europe or Africa”

The contest has no race or age requirements. Volger TV recommends candidates enter the competition at their website www.kinksreality.tv!

hear my new mantra from my car

Kinks will make money.
Kinks will make money.

That is my new motto. I want to pay everyone back for their efforts and make a few pennies so I can continue my new career! And more importantly I want to break my wall. A wall you ask? Yes my wall. We all have walls. They are created when you make a change in your life. When you jump on another train. Try another track. The wall is the imaginary fear that you might not make it. I have made money making commercials. And I have to thank the world, universe, powers upstairs, and my clever tax agent for that. But for movies, anything more than 30 seconds I have made zilch! Yes sad as that is, it is a big fat ZILCH!

For my telemovie that I shot three years ago I put my salary back into the production pot so my camera man could be paid. So basically I have gotten zero. I need to make my first dollar and I then the big wall that I have created will come tumbling down.

So my motto will be said loud.

I might scream it in my car. That means it will be spread across the lands. So if you see my pink Kalisa and inside is a crazy woman mouthing off , I am not angry or having a fit of road rage – I am just screaming my new Mantra chant to the powers upstairs.

Kinks will make money.
Kinks will make money.
