C.J. Stussi

C.J. Stussi speaks French, Italian, Spanish, German, and Swiss German. She had her TV debut at age 3 and was discovered by cult film director Monte Hellman at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival who convinced her to come to Hollywood and became her mentor.

As a first-generation immigrant with no savings and no family ties in the "new world," C.J. worked all aspects of the entertainment industry as a means of survival - slowly rising through the ranks - which garnered her the knowledge and experience "from the inside out."

C.J. won awards as best actress at the Berlin Underground Film Festival, NYC Indie Film Awards, Barcelona Planet Film Festival and the Kosice Film Festival for her portrayal of an auditioning actress in the proof of concept "Nameless."

Her dream became true when she became a US citizen and could finally focus on her acting career and harness the forged industry connections she had made as a producer and practicing entertainment attorney in Los Angeles.

C.J. believes that through determination, grit, and a little bit of luck anyone can overcome their circumstances and achieve their version of success.
