Marla Simone

Actor, Writer, and Filmmaker in Los Angeles, California

A Pacific Northwest native, I was born in Walla Walla, Washington. A small college town with tree lined streets, wheat fields and a dazzling view of the Blue Mountains. After a family move, I landed in Orange, California. Being a curious woman, tempted by adventure, I lived in the south of France in Montpellier. Experiencing first hand, the diverse beliefs, cuisine and humor of the people and cultures of Italy, England, Spain and exotic Morocco.

Passionate about the Arts, I received my Bachelors Degree in Fine Art from California State University, Fullerton. Restless, I was determined to fulfill a lifelong desire. Returning to school, at Santa Monica College, I entered into the Theater and Film Studies program.

Haiku, a collaborative project, was accepted in the College of the Canyons Film Festival. Over two hundred submissions were entered and ten films were selected. Choices was accepted into the Pan African Film Festival. Cream Coffee, In Your Shoes, the comedy Sebado the Clown, commericals and a film noir music video for the Indie band "There is No Sin."

Every project is unique. Every character is it's own. Every story has it's own voice in expressing the characters journey into reality.
