Actress Melanie Friedrich Discusses Playing a Woman in a Male-Dominated Industry in “Other Halves”



Today, Other Halves, the horror film about the last dating app you’ll ever use, released a behind-the-scenes interview with German actress Melanie Friedrich (Positive: Some Doors Should Remain Closed). Melanie plays Jana, the lead programmer of Other Halves. In this clip, Melanie talks about what it's like to play a woman in a male-dominated field, and how that reflects her own life experiences.


Other Halves stars Lauren Lakis (Hybrids, Gun Woman) and Mercedes Manning (Strictly Sexual, Zipper) as programmers who develop a revolutionary new dating app called Other Halves. On the night before the app is set to launch, they discover it causes strange side effects: users lose all self-control, becoming amoral, lascivious, violent... evil. They consider shutting the app down, but...

EVIL IS PROFITABLE.

The Red-Band Trailer recently debuted to much acclaim.  Two previous teasers gave us a clever glimpse of the evil properties of the app, the first disguised as a “Start-Up Investor Pitch” and the second teaser announcing the “Public Beta” of the revolutionary dating app.  “Other Halves” will make you think twice before you swipe right.

Other Halves, from One Oh One Radio Pictures, is the feature film debut for director and co-writer Matthew T. Price, and co-writer Kelly Morr.

The film is being produced by Curt Chatham, and also stars Lianna Liew (Truth Or Dare), Megan Hui (The Before Time), Sam Schweikert (Hart of Dixie), and Carson Nicely (The Conan O'Brien Show).

Melanie, as well as all actresses and the filmmakers, are available for press interviews, podcast appearances, and guest blogs.  Respond to production@otherhalv.es for any press inquiries.

You can follow the production on their website, www.OtherHalv.es or on IMDB. You can also follow the film on Facebook, Twitter (@OtherHalvesFilm), and Instagram (@OtherHalvesFilm).
