About me

  1. It's a wrap. After more than 40 shooting days in London and Berlin with an A-list actor being the lead plus several very well known actors supporting,  I finished shooting in a significant and good role (quote producer). I am more than thankful for that.This is a high octane 8 ep. thriller, a pity I cannot tell more at this stage. Premiere is set for autumn this year.



Wonderful review for Herbert's lead role in the THE TWO GAMBITS Film, which will be released early 2024:(WINNER Los Angeles International Short Film Festival, SEMI FINALIST in the San Francisco Arthouse Short Film Festival)
'The entire cast delivers captivating performances, but it is Forthuber’s portrayal of the soft-spoken Walter that truly steals the show. His nuanced performance keeps viewers glued to the screen, empathizing with his character’s journey of redemption and the unexpected reunion right under his nose'
