Mission
Savannah is interested in portraying and writing about strong, capable, and unapologetic characters that don’t just get lost to ‘stereotype’ and the male gaze. She is most passionate about feminism, identity, mental health, futurism and the general human nature, and explores all these through indie films, gritty dramas, transformative fantasy and futuristic sci-fi.
Savannah places great importance on a collaborative approach in all of her work on and off screen, and actively seeks to work with like minded artists who share her passion for representation, magic, and truth.
Vision
Savannah strives for an international career that spans across English and German productions, and beyond. Her multicultural upbringing and love for travel drives her ambition storytelling that transcends borders and language.
Savannah views acting as a truthful space without inhibition. A space where you are allowed to play and explore all sides of humanity, the ‘good’ just as much as the ‘bad’. It is her goal to instil this very truth within any aspect of her future work, and to portray that for which we have no words.
