Biography

Gabriela Amerth is a Brazilian actress, singer and writer who was born and raised in Engenho de Dentro, Rio de Janeiro. She started taking acting classes at 11 years old, and has starred in multiple plays back in her hometown. She moved to NYC in the end of 2016.

After attending a 6-weeks acting program, she started hustling to make ends meet. Gabriela was a salesperson in a jewelry booth at Grand Central, the Oculus and Holiday markets, as well as a restaurant host, dog-walker and a babysitter for over 3 years.

After saving just enough money, she took a Summer program at the Neighborhood Playhouse. It was also during this time that she created her micro short film A N X I E T Y, which ended up being selected to a few festivals and won her a $2500 Grand Jury Prize. With that money, she bought enough gear to start working as a Photographer and Videographer.

During the pandemic, she became a permanent resident and started auditioning independently. After about 70 auditions, she got her first 'yes' from Elaine Del Valle, and went on to film the SXSW winner Brownsville Bred. Meanwhile, she got a job as a daylight studio manager and kept working as a freelance photographer.

"I'm building my path one step at a time. And while I still have big dreams, my idea of happiness is now a life in which I live comfortably from acting jobs, surrounded by respectful people, and with enough financial resources to help others and to see my family and friends more often."
