About me

Kiana Klysch is an international actress with a unique background that sets her apart from the rest. Born to German and Iranian parents, Kiana is both a native English and German speaker and splits her time between Berlin and Prague. She has extensive experience in both film and television including a standout lead role in the German feature film THE WOLF, which earned her high praise for her commanding performance.

Kiana's star is on the rise with her upcoming role alongside Cannes-Best actress winner Zar Amir-Ebrahimi in PLEASE RISE and her appearance in ONE LIFE, directed by James Hawes and starring acting legends Anthony Hopkins and Helena Bonham Carter.

In addition to being a talented actress she has also made her mark as a director. Her directorial debut, THE STRANGE INCIDENT IN ROOM 36, has won multiple awards and showcases her ability to craft compelling stories both in front of and behind the camera.
