Alba says of her experience on the film that "as a young actress, the opportunity to work with a highly regarded actor such as Jonathan Rhys Meyers was a wonderful experience. I was able to gain great insight into his creative process. Our director Alessio Della Valle‘s calm and professional personality made the process of filming extremely smooth. As an actress I felt that he was a great guide, continuously pushing me to dig deeper."
Half Albanian, half German, Amira is a citizen of the world, having spent her childhood in Germany, later moving to Spain with her family, then studying in England. She is passionate not only about acting but the entire filmmaking process, and seeks to inspire others both in her film roles and philanthropy.
Next up for Alba is a role in the feature film RIDO PERCHE TI AMO for director Paolo Ruffino in the role of assistant to the owner of a Parisian dance school. Although Alba is fluent in English, Spanish and German, she challenged herself playing in this Italian language film, a sign of her dedication and determination as an actress.
