About me

French-Colombian actress with Tahitian origins, fluent in English, French and Spanish. 
Maruia has worked for several American productions inluding Netflix's "Narcos", "The Belko Experiment" and "Blunt Force Trauma". In the last few years she has starred in the feature films "This Time Tomorrow" and "The Crack"  (premiered at Locarno Film Festival and Korea's BIFF) and in many short films, including several award winners. 
She has studied American acting methods, but also physical theatre, dance and choreography in Paris and London where she lived for many years.
She now lives between Colombia and France and is getting prepared to direct a series of short films called "Neutral".
