I’ve been attending the Neuchâtel Film Festival for years, and this year, I had the pleasure of attending the screening of Johanna Moder’s Mother’s Baby, a psychological thriller inspired by her own experiences of becoming a mother.
In this episode, I sit down with Arne Kohlweyer, the film’s co-writer and a consummate storyteller. Our conversation covers his early fascination with cinema, the path that led him to screenwriting, and the balancing act of sustaining a career in the film industry. We also dive into how Mother’s Baby came to him, the creative challenges he and Johanna navigated in shaping the story, and the themes they wanted to bring forward.
Arne was incredibly generous with his time, and his insights into the writing process and the collaborative nature of filmmaking were invaluable.
I trust you’ll enjoy our conversation.
