Mala Ghedia

Hello, my name is Mala Ghedia. Thanks for stopping by.

I have been telling stories since I was very young. Growing up in rural Australia to an Indian family of six children, I spent my time directing my siblings in little family “living-room-plays”, creating wild stories based on Hindu mythology and “Alice in Wonderland”.

Later I went on to study filmmaking and media communications at university in Sydney before completing my acting degree at the Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Art in London. I soon became a local in the British theatre scene, performing everywhere from the Royal Shakespeare Company (Salman Rushdie's self- directed stage premiere of Midnight's Children) to the West Yorkshire Playhouse.

I’ve have worked extensively in television, film and theatre in the UK, Australia, USA, India, Switzerland and Germany.

Alongside my stage and screen work, I am an experienced voice artist, having worked on many projects including a podcast, "OzLänder - Aussie Creatives Living in Berlin", audiobooks, animation, film dubbing and commercials. I have hosted corporate and industry events and am a teacher of drama and English to young children through my Berlin-based workshops Mala’s Playhaus.

My attention moved away from acting and turned to writing and directing to tell stories that I believe give a voice to the seldom heard. Having a creative overview of a project is the most rewarding process I have experienced in the industry.

I have just completed my next film RICOCHET which I had the pleasure of directing and co-authoring.

I have also co-written, produced, and acted in the award-winning short film NO MONSTERS IN BERLIN.
