Life

Nicole Mosleh grew up in Frankfurt am Main. Her parents came to Frankfurt as political refugees.

In 1993, at the age of 23, she received film funding for her first short film Möhrengemüse . The eight-minute film won numerous prizes and is still in the catalog in numerous libraries of the Goethe Institute and the DAAD. In 1997 she received a scholarship for the Summer Academy of the State Film School ( FEMIS ) in Paris . In 1998/99 she trained as a scriptwriter at the script workshop in Munich of the University of Television and Film (HFF) Munich . Her graduate screenplay Alice was nominated for the Tankred Dorst Screenplay Award and took 3rd place. After studying screenwriting, Mosleh was accepted into the directing class of the American Film Institute (AFI) in Los Angeles . After graduating, Mosleh stayed in Los Angeles for another three years, where she worked as a screenwriter. For her debut as a director with the film Nemesis she was able to win Ulrich Mühe and Susanne Lothar for the leading roles.

Mosleh's film debut was made under difficult conditions. A large part of the budget was lost during pre-production. Instead of canceling the project, Mosleh decided without further ado to cut the shooting time from an estimated 26 days to 13 days. During post-production Ulrich Mühe developed cancer and died a few months later. A subsequent legal battle with his widow Susanne Lothar blocked the film for over three years. In 2010 the two parties came to an agreement and the film premiered at the Hof Film Festival . When it finally started in cinemas across Germany in 2012, both main actors were dead; Lothar died a few months earlier.

Mosleh works as a screenwriter and dramaturge. Parallel to her artistic work, she teaches screenwriting, a. a. in the internal training of ZDF , Bavaria Film GmbH , at film schools and film houses . In 2013 her book script writing was published by UVK Verlag .
