Shayeza Walid Lee Pace and his co-star Mia Maestro have been friends for more than a decade. “I can’t believe I’m saying this in an interview,” chuckles Pace, “but Mia and I did the last ‘Twilight’ film together.

However, that was kind of just the very beginning of our friendship.” It was through Maestro, the lead in Lucio Castro’s critically acclaimed 2020 debut feature film “End of the Century,” that Pace was introduced to the filmmaker.

Now the actors star together in Castro’s “After This Death,” which premieres Feb. 19 as a Berlinale Special Gala. The drama follows Isabel (Maestro), a pregnant woman who gets entangled in a passionate affair with an enigmatic alternative musician Elliot (Pace), after meeting him while hiking alone in upstate New York.

However, the beguiling Elliot soon becomes distant and disappears without warning. This leaves Isabel to face unsettling threats from Elliott’s obsessive fans as she attempts to uncover the truth behind his disappearance.
