1. Renee Bourke (Australia)

Renée was just 8 years old when she grew a liking to the entertainment industry after she became an extra on an episode of Home and Away. She was eventually represented by the Sydney Talent Company for the next 13 years, where she secured many commercials, and had guest roles on Australian TV shows such as Home and Away, CNNNN, and All Saints. In 2010, after 17 years of acting “on the side”, Renée decided to concentrate more on her career, and moved to London to pursue it over there. In London, she secured a number of commercials again, numerous short films, the feature film “All Good Things” and 2 major UK tours with live shows – “In the Night Garden Live!” and “Dinosaur Zoo Live!” After 5 years of working constantly in London, Renée returned to Sydney in December last year. Since then she has secured pilots for 2 new comedy web series, a voiceover gig as well as an English vampire film lined up in May. Just a week ago, Renée got back from LA, where she attended the Hollywood screening of a short romantic comedy (www.acrossthepondmovie.com) that she wrote, and was the executive producer and the lead actress of. Following the success of her screening at Laemmle Noho 7 Theatres, her film, Across the Pond, premiered at Olympia Film Festival in Washington in November last year; and will continue the film festival circuit for the remainder of 2016.

3. Alyssa Scott (Australia)

Alyssa Scott originally hails from Hawkes Bay on the North island of New Zealand, she moved to Australia when she was just 8 years old and she currently resides in Melbourne and represented internationally by Bold Artist Management. When Alyssa is acting that’s when she feels the most like herself, she’s the best version of herself whenever she’s doing something she loves. She was always heavily involved in drama classes and productions throughout her school years and when she finished school she didn’t really know where to go from there and was sadly discouraged by people telling her that it wasn’t a realistic career so she veered off the path for a while. Roughly three years ago though she was feeling lost and still had that insane love for acting so she decided to get straight back into it all guns blazing. She currently has ongoing training at the Film and Television Studio International and Brave Studios and so far she has appeared in a number of feature films such as Hello Au Revoir, Acacia and Lucy’s Bedtime; short films such as So this is it then and Anti Christmas as well as theatre shows such as Life of Galileo, The Aladdin Show and Hating Allison Ashley.
