 Anna Fin (qv) sent a videotape to the producers where she played  the Phil/Sofia tape scene in three completely different ways. She  made the tape while on vacation, with Phil being played by an  American she met in her hotel. The role of Sofia Winter eventually  went to Anika Julien (qv), but the filmmakers were impressed  enough with Annas video that they asked her to make another tape in  which she should play Nadja. She made another, somewhat improvised  tape, which then landed her the part.
