Emily Schmeller
ScreenwriterServus, Grüezi, Hallo, and Hello! This is how Emily should start all her emails — after all, she’s a true tri-country girl. Born with dual citizenship (German and Swiss) in Minga (Munich), she grew up by the beautiful Starnberger See and in Salzburg. She attended three different elementary schools and, thanks to Irish childcare, she developed a deep love for languages in all their weirdness. No surprise that today she works as an actress and a writer. Her motto since childhood has been: Go big or go home. She’s a drama queen and a comedian, loving mystery and psychological thrillers just as much as comedy. One thing she can‘t stand is being put in a box. As a true horse girl, Emily hasn’t just adopted her terrier mix Lucky from a shelter — she also saved her two Swiss foals from the butcher! All about the animals. Tschüssi, Ciao, Bye, Baba, or whatever!
