Alessia Fionda

Γέννηση 4 Ιαν 1999 · Clarkston, Michigan, USA

Alessia Fionda was born and raised in Michigan, growing up north of Detroit. Both of her parents are Italian. Her father, Tony Fionda, emerged into the acting world while supporting Alessia at auditions. The two have been in productions together, such as the short film Glass Holiday. Alessia's interest in acting stems from her participation in theatre in her early teens as well as from her desire to perform at an even younger age. After high school, she began starring in short films while attending Oakland University, such as the period drama "Claire de Lune". Through her studies, she also took an interest in writing her own work. Alessia earned a Bachelor's degree from Oakland University majoring in Communications and minoring in Theatre. After graduating, Alessia won first prize at the 2021 Art Speaks Play Festival in Midland, Michigan for best 10-minute play with her original, "Give Us A Smile". Due to her love of film, she was inspired to turn it into a screenplay. She then made her directorial debut with her adapted screenplay, "Give Us A Smile", which Alessia also starred in. Alessia continues to act alongside her new found passion for writing and directing.
