Telling Stories with Soul – On Camera and On Paper
Welcome to the official website of Inez Bjørg David – actress, writer, and director.
I'm a Berlin-based creative professional bringing emotionally rich stories to life – in front of the camera and behind it.
Whether I'm performing on screen, developing scripts, or directing narrative projects, my passion is always the same: telling stories that move us, challenge us, and stay with us.

Bringing Characters to Life
With over 20 years of experience in film and television, I’ve portrayed a wide range of roles – from intense drama to light-hearted comedy.
My work includes leading roles in major German series and feature film productions, guest appearances in cinema and feature film productions, and long-form storytelling in several television formats.
I love building characters from the inside out – always searching for emotional truth, complexity, and presence in every scene.

Directing with Heart, Humor, and Hustle
As a writer and director, I’m drawn to stories that live in the space between laughter and tears.
My debut short film 'Alter, ego!' is a fully scripted pilot episode – created with heart, humor, and a bit of beautiful chaos in a no-budget setting.
Shot between takes and toddlers, the project came to life thanks to the incredible commitment of renowned actors such as Steve Windolf, Isabell Polak, Ursula Karven, and Anna Böttcher, along with award-winning cinematographer Pascal Schmit and amazing make up artist Ulla Röling.
The result is a funny, touching, and very personal film that explores the small absurdities of life, love, and figuring out who you are.
This is just the beginning – more stories are waiting to be told.

Blame the character, not the actress.
What I'm Working On
Alongside my work as an actress and an industry writer, I'm currently working on a few heart-driven side projects that bring me a lot of joy:
– A Danish childhood cookbook – filled with the comfort food I grew up with, and the stories behind each recipe (yes, there will be cinnamon. A lot of it).
– A read-aloud children’s book about a mischievous little creature named Hüpfel, who loves wordplay almost as much as I do.
– A website for (expecting) mothers, packed with helpful tools and kind reminders that you don’t have to do it all alone.
– And a cozy coaching series for anyone who wants to make writing a daily ritual – whether you’re dreaming of a novel or just want to find your voice.
These projects are quite different – but they all share one thing: they’re full of heart, and they start with a blank page.
Thinking in Circles - and Loving it
Cradle to Cradle NGO
Since 2013, I've had the honor of serving on the advisory board of the Cradle to Cradle NGO – an organization that’s rethinking how we design, use, and reuse everything.
Instead of the classic “take–make–waste” mindset, C2C is all about circularity, healthy materials, and products that are actually made to come back – like boomerangs, but with better intentions.
I believe great storytelling and great design have something in common: they both ask what kind of future we’re shaping. And I’m proud to contribute to a movement that dares to ask big questions – and look for beautiful answers.
