Our booth at the Film Market, friends from the ARD and much more...

Heidi and Bettina at the ZDF booth.

Bettina and me doing business... Well, more or less. Most of the mornings we spent with organizing the parties for the evenings and nights or getting tickets for the movie premiers in the evening. But representing the ZDF can be pretty exhausting! You have to be nice to everyone who stopps at the booth whether you like the person or not! Plus you have to look good - which means alive and not half dead - and this is really difficult if you got wasted the night before (God bless the make-up!)! We have to be at the booth from 9 a.m. till 7 p.m., if you need tickets for movies you have to be at the market even earlier. That means definitely not enough sleep during the whole festival! Your feet start aching after a few hours at the booth and wearing high heels in the evening is almost impossible. The only chance to get some extra-sleept is to lay down behind the booth and hope that nobody sees you ;-) Special Berlin Diet: koffee and cigarettes!
