Hi I’m Marri Savinar.
I’m an actor / writer / producer.
About me
Portland born. Lefty. Gray eyes. Born on Friday the 13th. Actor. Artist. French speaker. Photographer. Photo editor.
As the daughter of an artist and playwright, creativity is definitely in my blood. I recently wrote, produced, and acted in a film titled I’m Just Here that World Premiered at Outfest, the largest queer film festival in the world. Since it’s premiere, the film has been making the rounds at a multitude of other film festivals and won several accolades internationally.
Some of my other recent credits include playing Jane’s new work bff, “Lilah”, on Jane the Virgin, “Kayla” on The Real O’Neals, “Tracey” in one of Todd Strauss-Shulson’s short films, Valibation, and I was cast as the lead on The Makeup Call - a New Media show for a Youtube channel with over half a million subscribers.
I also paint, take photographs, work as a photo editor and retoucher and I am currently writing, producing, and acting in a new project. You’ll have to wait for more details on that one...
I’m currently studying at Stan Kirsch Studios where I love to further my career and be challenged.
