South African actress Vanessa Zachos can be seen in the British horror film, Credo, premiering in the UK on Monday 20 April as part of the London Independent Film Festival 2009 Official Selection.
Zachos makes her professional acting debut alongside well known actors such as Colin Salmon (Die Another Day/ Resident Evil), Stephen Gately (Boyzone) and Clayton Watson (Matrix) in the prologue of this teenage horror flick. She plays the role of one of five theology students who are persuaded to summon up a demon in order to prove the existence of evil.
“Horror is a genre I’ve always been rather passionate about, so being a part of Credo was really exciting for me,” says Zachos.
The Johannesburg actress has been honing her acting skills in the UK. In 2008 she was selected at the Durban International Film Festival as one of 40 to represent South Africa at the Berlinale Talent Campus.
Zachos has also completed filming her first leading role as the love interest in a British indie feature, and is attached to two UK features, which are currently in development.
Credo will be released 25 May on DVD in the UK.
