Hi, my name is Mallika Cotterell, I am 17 years old and based in Scotland. The idea of becoming a screen actor was always there, but it wasn't until I attended the Young Film Academy summer residential, I knew that this is where I am meant to be. Everyone had the same passion, working behind or in front of the camera and the love for film. Being with these people and professionals just made me happy in a weird way I cannot explain, but it's truly something magical.
When I got selected to be part of Project Paradiso to be an actor, I was ecstatic. This filmmaking project would give me the greatest opportunity to take my skills to the next level. It would mean the world to me if you could make my dreams come true.
