Margherita Malandra

Biography

  • I was 8 when I decided I wanted to be an actress. I started acting in Milan, in my city's theater company, and after various musicals and shows, I understood that it was the right path. At sixteen, I realized that I loved theater, but I wanted to be able to excite people through a screen. My parents didn't have enough money to afford a film academy, so I started working as an entertainer in a tourist village to pay at least part of the fee. The following year, I started an acting course at the 09 Academy in Milan, together with modern singing course, and of course the school. There were four very hard years trying to balance acting, singing, university and work, which was necessary for me to pay for everything.

    In 2019, I graduated from my courses in film acting, modern singing and foreign idioms and literature. I'd been involved in numerous short films and projects, and it was all set to start my professional life, but things didn't go as planned. Despite the pandemic, I was able to work as an actress for IKEA Italy, and make videos for them on social networks. In 2021, I quit my job and started an online job that would let me train abroad and focus on my acting career.

    At the beginning of 2022, I moved to Madrid for six months to attend intensive film acting courses. During those months I met wonderful directors and teachers who gave me the energy to go back to Italy with new skills and the desire to do the job I love.

    In January 2023, I moved to Rome to find an agency and do workshops with Italian casting directors. Since graduating, I have appeared in several short films, one independent movie, two web series and some TV appearances. I love being on set because it means finding new parts of myself, fighting against the ego and giving myself to the viewer.

    Why do I want to be an actress? Because I can't let that eight-year-old girl down
