Born and raised in Vienna to a family artists, I first took the stage at the age of 7.

 

IIn 2002 I stepped for the first time in front of the camera and got hooked to the medium of film ever since. From home videos to moderation and acting in the children's TV program of the ORF to recordings of plays.

Upon graduating high school with focus on arts, I began expanding my expertise beyond acting to encompass both backstage and behind the camera. 

 

At that time I worked for the current DSCHUNGEL WIEN director Corinne Eckenstein in several productions as an actress, assistant director and production manager in productions such as "BOYS DON'T CRY" and "Wenn (m)ein Herz lauter brüllen”.

My first film, in which wrote, directed, produced, edited and played the leading role, »HOW TO CARRY A PACKAGE« is tale set during the Arab Spring about the loss of loved ones and how regardless of where we find ourselves, we always carry  that loss with us.

A topic near to my heart, »HOW TO CARRY A PACKAGE« was accepted in a variety of Film festivals, and was nominated for Best Foreign Language Drama at both the »International Student Film Festival Hollywood« and »Filofest« in Slovenia.

BEHIND THE SCENES

In the summer of 2015, Eric Rino and I wrote the short film »Mis’TIC« - a love letter to silent film and my father Massud Rahnama.

Having grown up watching the films of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton and Laurel & Hardy as a child, I was honored to be asked to portray the lead role opposite my father in this silent film directed by Eric Rino. “Mis’TIC” has gone on to win several international awards in the years that followed.

Shortly after completing “Mis’TIC”, I moved to Los Angeles for a year to study english, media & arts while being an intern at LA Reels and working as an assistant director and editor for different Indie films. 

 

Currently, I continue to act and provide voice over, as well as edit, assistant direct and direct throughout Europe.
