Alissa Jung was born on June 30th, 1981 in Germany. She started her career in acting and filmmaking as a child, dubbing films and tv series as well as working on audio plays. Her teenage years were mainly spent at the theatre: she was a member of several acting groups and played leading parts in Sophocles' "Antigone" at the "Leipziger Schille" or in "Gelb" directed by Armin Petras at the "Schauspiel Leipzig" (now "Centraltheater"). It was here that she was discovered for German television at the age of 16. Since then she has been involved in several film productions, playing leading roles in the German crime thriller "Tatort", the fairy-tale "Des Kaisers neue Kleider", the romantic comedy "Im Brautkleid meiner Schwester" or the international production "Maria". In recent years, she has increasingly left the spot in front of the camera for gaining experience as a writer and director, shooting her own films and documentaries. In 2010 she founded the organization PEN PAPER PEACE, financing two schools in Haiti. Show less «
