EVA NORVIND - PRODUCER / DIRECTOR
Born and raised in Norway, Eva Norvind speaks seven languages and resides in the US and Mexico. A well-known sexologist, she has always had a passion for filmmaking. Back in the '60s, she was a film actress in Mexico; in the '70s, she became a widely-published photographer and journalist.
After receiving a BA from NYU Film School in 1982, she made several short films - but then her "other" profession began demanding more time. In 1987 she became the founding director of the New York-based Taurel Institute, providing counseling, workshops and erotic role-play for both individuals and couples. In 1995, she got an MA from NYU in Human Sexuality and Health Education and began giving lectures all over the world. John McTiernan hired her to coach Rene Russo for her assertive sexual image in THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR (1999) for which she got screen credit.
Eva's life has been controversial by choice -with the result that two documentary films have already been made about her. DIDN'T DO IT FOR LOVE (1998), directed by Monika Treut, premiered at both the Toronto and Berlin film festivals. WHIPPED - directed by Sasha Waters and Iana Porter - was broadcast by the Sundance channel. BORN WITHOUT is Eva's first documentary feature as Producer/Director.

Nailea has participated in diverse musicals such as "Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat", "Kuman", "Jesus Christ Superstar", and "Robin Hood" where she played princess Marianne.

This year she is scheduled to begin rehearsals for "Terror and Misery of the Third Reich" By Bertolt Brecht which is to premiere early 2007.
