Dear "What the Heart Needs" supporters,
we are back!
In the last few weeks we have not only been busy with vacation and enjoying the sun, but have also spent a lot of time with our project: Visiting locations, planning shooting and rehearsal days, looking for further funding, giving interviews and much more.
In an interview with Carina and Marie - the two are real power women - as part of their podcast "Popcorn and Prosecco", Laura was able to talk about the inspiration for the film and give many more insights into the production process.
We also had a super informative conversation with a qualified and friendly employee from the DSO (German Foundation for Organ Transplantation). Feel free to visit their website.
You have supported us and maybe you are already waiting for your cool stickers? These will be designed at the beginning of August and will be sent as soon as they arrive! Are you as excited as we are?
If you want to stay up to date, please follow our Instagram account to always get the latest updates.

We wish you all a wonderful summer!
See you soon,
Your "What the Heart Needs" team <3

Happy Family
Dear "What the Heart Needs" followers!
First of all, a big thank you to all other supporters who helped the short film with a monetary donation! We are so grateful to you - really!!
It's hard for me (Laura) to put into words how happy I am to work with my crew and cast. I also had a few happy tears in my eyes during the last meeting.
As you can see in the picture, we all have an incredibly great time together.
To be honest, that's not always common in this industry...
We are really looking forward to the shooting, which will take place in September 2023.
Are you as excited as we are? How exciting everything is!
Our crowdfunding is still running for 15 more days. At the moment there is still a little more than 1,500 euros missing. We very much hope that there are still some people out there who think our project is so great that they want to and can support it financially. :)
But first we wish everyone a wonderful evening.
Sunny greetings from Berlin!
Your "What The Heart Needs" team ❤

Thank you!! + Our new "JOEY"
Dear WTHN Followers
First of all, we want to say a big THANK YOU to all our previous donors! A few tears of joy have already been shed... You guys are simply the best!
Last week we found out that our previous leading actress, Melika El Hani, unfortunately has to leave the project. We started looking for a new "Joey" and, fortunately, quickly found a great actress:
We would like to give a warm welcome to Rahel Tzegai, who blew Madlen and me away during the casting.
The whole team is looking forward to working with Rahel. Marc and Rahel even know each other from drama school!
We wish you a nice beginning of May filled with lots of sunshine!
