ABOUT MARIELLA

Mariella Kaveo is a Dutch/Spanish actress. Mariella is the daughter of a Dutch father and a Spanish mother. She was born in Madrid, grew up in Den Bosch (The Netherlands) and moved to Los Angeles for her study in acting and is currently based in Amsterdam.

Background
Mariella was on stage at an early age, where she started as a dancer. She attended dance classes at ballet school Margot Bierens in Den Bosch and performed in several shows in Dutch theaters. After high school, Mariella graduated from the University of Tilburg where she obtained a Master degree in “Leisure Studies”.

Moving to Los Angeles
Mariella realized her current career path, wasn’t the one she dreamt of and felt passionate about. She felt the urge to start off on a different path and follow her passion for film and acting.

I was casted for a national TV-show and I loved working in front of the camera. I instantly got my passion back for acting. So I thought I should follow my passion and start acting training. And in what better place can you learn more about acting than Hollywood?” 

Mariella moved to Los Angeles in 2013 where she attended drama school and has returned to LA regularly since graduating for ongoing acting classes at acclaimed acting studios. 

Acting Work
Once back in The Netherlands, Mariella started with modeling and acting jobs. She has since worked in Dutch TV shows (GTST, Bluf, De Spa), lead and supporting roles in short films and in the feature films ‘F*ck de Liefde’ (1 & 2). ‘F*ck de Liefde 1’ reached the status of ‘Golden Film’ within a week of its cinema release. Mariella has also starred in (inter)national TV commercials (Playstation, Mercedes, Babyliss).

Work behind the scenes
Next to acting, Mariella also works behind the scenes. In 2015 she started MKvO Media, a film & video production company.

“My biggest passion is acting, but I am also interested in other aspects of film and entrepreneurship. I have worked as a producer on feature films (Redbad, Shake it Off, F*ck de Liefde), documentaries (ADE, LatinVillage, Nicky Romero, Redbad de Makers), TV formats and online videos.”
