Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this episode, we spotlight the incredibly talented Kerstin Schulze and how her German heritage uniquely shapes her craft as an actor, filmmaker, and creative force. Kerstin shares how embracing mistakes has been a powerful part of her growth—not something to fear, but stepping stones that have helped her become stronger and more versatile. “If you don't learn something new today, it wasn't a good day,” she says—a mantra that continues to guide her artistic journey.Kerstin opens up about her unforgettable experience working on American Horror Story, performing alongside legends like Kathy Bates and Angela Bassett. She recalls the nerves and pressure of the moment, and how a simple mental shift—seeing nervousness as excitement—helped her transform that energy into a magnetic performance.She also dives into the impact of language and culture on her acting. By rehearsing lines in both German and English, Kerstin taps into a deeper emotional range, allowing her to connect more fully to the soul of the character. This bilingual approach gives her performances nuance and authenticity that truly stand out.At the heart of her journey is a philosophy of balance and self-empowerment—values that led her to co-found P&D Productions, where she creates her own opportunities rather than waiting for permission. Kerstin believes that art comes from action and that every challenge is a chance to evolve.Join us as we explore Kerstin Schulze's world—a blend of culture, courage, and creativity. Whether you're an actor, a creator, or simply someone chasing a dream, this episode will inspire you to embrace your path and trust in your growth.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:05 - German Background and Acting00:01:05 - Learning from Mistakes00:01:52 - Experience with American Horror Story00:03:05 - Differences between English and American Dialects00:04:45 - Learning Lines in German00:06:39 - About P&D Productions00:07:41 - ConclusionFor more insights into her work and programs, you can visit her website at partyanddiet.com or follow her on Instagram at @partyanddiet.
Welcome to the DMF. I'm Justin Younts. In this episode, we dive deep into the creative process of the incredibly talented Kerstin Schulze, whose work in film and television continues to push boundaries. Best known for her powerful performance as Sola and her standout role in The Righteous Gemstones, Kerstin is more than an actress—she's a true character architect.One of the most compelling examples of Kerstin's craft is her development of a deeply layered character named Hightower—a killer clown with a haunting backstory. From the start, Kerstin knew she didn't want this to be a one-dimensional villain. Instead, she focused on building a voice and presence for Hightower that would resonate on a human level. Inspired by classic characters like The Godfather, she gave Hightower a distinct vocal quality that immediately stood out.But the real magic came in the emotional layers Kerstin brought to the role. She saw beyond the clown makeup and chaos, tapping into the loneliness, rejection, and unfulfilled need for love that shaped Hightower's psyche. She made her a compulsive cleaner—obsessed with order as a way of coping with inner chaos—and through that lens, the audience could see the person beneath the persona.Kerstin's creative process is immersive. On set, she leaned heavily into improvisation, often asking herself, “What would Hightower do here?” One particularly memorable moment involved her climbing into a birdcage to express the character's sense of isolation and entrapment—unscripted, raw, and deeply revealing.Her method for learning lines reflects the same dedication. Kerstin records her dialogue and practices it on the move, internalizing it in a way that allows her to stay present and reactive in the moment. For her, it's not about memorization—it's about embodying the role completely, understanding the motivations behind every line, every look, every silence.In this episode, we get a rare glimpse into the mind of a performer who doesn't just play characters—she becomes them. Join us as Kerstin Schulze shares her process, insights, and the emotional truth that fuels her performances.Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe for more behind-the-scenes conversations with today's most compelling creative voices.00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:04 - Creating the Character Hightower00:00:36 - Hightower's Development On Set00:01:22 - Hightower's Motivation and Characteristics00:04:18 - Creating the Character War Manga00:05:52 - Learning Lines and Understanding the Story00:08:46 - Importance of Action and Understanding the Process00:09:40 - ConclusionFor more insights into her work and programs, you can visit her website at partyanddiet.com or follow her on Instagram at @partyanddiet.
