Biography 

I’m Tanya Kostadinova, a Bulgarian-born international actress and filmmaker currently based in Sofia and London. I began my journey with a BA in Drama Theatre from New Bulgarian University and refined my skills in Film Acting at London’s Met Film School, Ealing Studios. Recently, I earned a Master’s Degree in Filmmaking and directed my first short film, “The Unbeliever.” I have UK work permission, a European passport, and a valid American B1/B2 Visa.

And yes, I’ve lived all over the place, making me quite the observer. Meeting people from different backgrounds, ethnicities, and cultures has been both an inspiration and a learning experience. It’s fascinating to explore the psyche of others, and in the process, it turns out I’ve managed to get to know myself more and more. Who knew, right?

I’ve had the incredible experience of working on international projects with English-speaking roles, and I’ve enjoyed acting in Bulgarian as characters like Rita in the TV series “Anxiety,” which won at the Golden Rose Festival in 2024.

On the filmmaking side, I worked as an assistant director for “It Might Be Nothing in Common,” which was featured at the Sofia Film Festival in 2023. I’m thrilled that my debut short film, “The Unbeliever,” received positive feedback at the Golden Rhyton Festival in 2024.

I’m fluent in English and continually working on refining my accent with a touch of British flair.

I find peace through swimming and maintain my fitness with pilates and yoga. Although I had a setback with horseback riding due to an accident last year, I’m determined to return to it. I will keep you posted 🙂

Thanks for popping by. I’ll have more wit ready for you soon. Stay tuned and don’t stray too far—exciting plans are brewing. Cheers!
