Marisa Book

Marisa Book is a deeply perceptive actress best known for her role in Ghost Boy, which earned the Visions Audience Award at SXSW. She received her degree from Vanderbilt University where she trained in both Meisner and Stanislavski techniques. She possesses an innate gift for infusing every role with a vulnerability and an unfiltered intensity that can carry volumes with just a single look. A linguist at heart, she is bilingual in Spanish and learning Portuguese. She has a remarkable ear for accents; see for yourself in Ghost Boy, where she seamlessly transforms into Joanna Pistorius, the South African woman who dared to understand a man the world believed was unreachable.
