Shelly Skandrani

Shelly was born in Tel Aviv, Israel and grew up in London and is often described as a mixture of Israeli passion and British refinement. This mixture of extremes sparked her interest in anthropology and Shelly has spent a vast amount of my time traveling the world and studying different cultures, including backpacking in South America and India and visiting most of Europe and the USA, gathering stories and broadening her collection of ideas. Shelly started acting on the stages of London at the age of nine, performing in dozens of plays, with over forty performances each, before moving onto Film and TV at 16-years-old. Some of her latest projects include an anti-war short film called "The C-Gate" which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and a recurring co-star role on the Amazon hit show "Transparent."    This spring she is set to star as Astrid, an indecisive woman who can't get her life together in the indie feature film "Phoning It In" which Joe Shapiro will direct.   In addition, she will be co-hosting an online talk show with Natalie Marciano called "Black Sheep Revelations" which will discuss current issues, ruffling some feathers in a humorous and unique manner.
