IRENA - Christine Celozzi
Christine Celozzi is an actress and writer living in Los Angeles. She is an adventurer at heart, having spent six months traveling the roads of North America. Her love for people and storytelling blossomed into a passion for acting when she began training in 2014 at the internationally acclaimed Straeon Acting Studios. Christine has also taken classes at the Second City and currently studies with Margie Haber Studio. Her short script, "For Nerivia", was selected for several festivals in 2019 and won best screenplay, among other finalist awards. Later that year, she received the 2019 Shawna E. Shea Memorial Foundation, Inc.’s Women in Film Fellowship award, for which she wrote and starred in the dark comedy short, “My Friends The Plants”.
A highlight for Christine was being selected as one of nine actors in the "Hotel Vivier" 2019 event, influenced by Wes Anderson (a huge personal inspiration), in celebration of Gherardo Felloni. In 2020, she was nominated for best actress at the Austin After Dark Film Festival for her leading role in the short film, "PARCHED". Later that year, she assumed the role of Irena in “The Plumber”, vigorously training to perfect a Polish accent. Her current projects include a dark comedy digital media series and a dark comedy feature, both of which she hopes to get off the ground at the end of 2021.
