Silvana Jakich is an actress, director and writer. She came to New York in 2001, fell in love with the city and called it home. She has studied acting with Mark Blum, Austin Pendleton and Thomas G. Waites. Her screenwriting study was with the legendary Robert McKee. Silvana's love of acting came at the ripe old age of six when she was cast as Cleopatra in a school play and draped in a shower curtain. Since then, Silvana has been on stage and film constantly and had the good fortune to write and direct two independent feature films as well as numerous shorts and webisodes. She is grateful for the gift of creative work and is never happier than when collaborating on projects with other actors, writers and directors.
