Maria Binder

About me

Maria is an international actress with Russian roots, fluent in English, German, and Russian. Holding a European passport, she is able to work across Europe.

Trained with leading UK and US coaches, she brings a grounded, naturalistic approach to her work and is drawn to emotionally rich, physically demanding roles. She recently auditioned for the feature film Dark Skulls (Norway, 2026) and booked a horror feature film currently in production, with plans for festival submission.

Maria is actively building her career across international markets, with a particular focus on the UK and US. Outside of acting, she is passionate about sport and travel, which inform her physicality and adaptability on screen.
