Notes

// INDUSTRY // Day after Day NZ Women's Refuge - “Harrowing...visually arresting, beautifully done and gut-wrenchingly effective” - People's Choice - Ad Media Magazine "Bianca is a great actress and easy to work with." Biagio Messina, TV & Film Producer, Joke Productions, Los Angeles - USA. Producing for CNN, MTV, IFC, VH1, AETV, DiscoveryID networks “The pleasure was all ours Bianca. Thanks for all your hard work - truly blood sweat and tears!” - Perry Bradley, Director - Film Construction "Bianca is a terrific actress" - Michael Rooker, American Actor, Guardians of the Galaxy, The Walking Dead ⁣ “The work Bianca has produced while studying in this professional atmosphere is artistically first-rate. She is disciplined, motivated, and ambitious with a warm natural sense of humor" - Michael Saccente, Actor - Meisner Tutor ⁣⁣ “Bianca collaborates very well with directors in both commercial broadcast and film. She is a creative and insightful individual. Her enthusiasm, professionalism as well as a sense of humor has made her popular and highly respected amongst her peers. Highly recommended.” - Steven Chow, Independent Director, Editor, Police Ten 7 - Screentime NZ Ltd ⁣ // B I O // ⁣⁣ “Green-eyed, dark-haired, a fighter for the underdog. Street smart and weapons trained. Intense with a tough edge. Poised and ready to strike. A formidable dark horse. A stealthy badass. A Specialist. The hired Alpha (wife, mum, sister) who lives next door.” As a professional creative Bianca has booked lead roles in TV commercials with major consumer brands. Notably, she engaged in a lead role (working with Multi-award winning Director Rachel Davies) to proudly support the New Zealand Women’s Refuge award-winning “Day after Day campaign.” Awarded a Silver World Medal at the New York Television and Cinema Advertising Screen Festival in the USA. Voted People’s Choice – AD Media Magazine.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣And awarded Gold – New Zealand Axis Awards. Bianca has performed lead and support roles in short films, TV soap operas, series, music videos, and corporate presentations. And lead voice-overs for radio commercials. She is a published cover and fitness features model and a former winner of the FitnessLife Magazine Nationwide Model search. She has featured on Fitness and Lifestyle magazine covers, and billboards, including product promotions/launches, and appearances at health and fitness media expos, and industry-leading trade shows.⁣⁣ She has modeled for fashion houses, runways, and charity events, and represented commercial brand products in fashion campaigns, print, and online media. Bianca is a skilled spokesperson and a passionate advocate for health, well-being, and fitness. She is in support of non-profit organizations that aid women and youth at risk, drug, alcohol, and domestic violence initiatives.⁣ She is exclusively managed and repped by RBA - The Robert Bruce Agency | Film Television Theatrical Management. Bianca has trained to a master’s level in both Meisner and Stanislavski Acting techniques and has studied with various high-profile casting directors and acclaimed acting tutors both in the USA and New Zealand. ⁣ ⁣ She is of French, German, Scottish, English, Maori, and Welsh descent. Her native country is New Zealand (a Pacific paradise in the southwest of the Pacific Ocean). From 2009 - 2020 Bianca lived abroad in Canada and the USA (Calgary, Los Angeles, and San Francisco). Where she achieved U.S Permanent Residency Status (became a Green Card holder) - enabling her to live and work in the USA. ⁣ ⁣ // MOTIVATION // With a mix of strength, vulnerability, and a badassery edge. Bianca has been cast in roles ranging from victim to villain, to fighting for the underdog. She revels in physical action roles and loves pioneering strong female action archetypes. From the unhinged, badass version of Linda Hamilton's Sarah Connor (Terminator 2 - Judgement Day 1991). To Sigourney Weaver's iconic Ripley in Aliens (1986). ⁣ ⁣ Bianca also enjoys the challenge of anti-heroes and flawed types. Roles that are full of action and intrigue. She loves exploring a character’s reality, their depth, what drives them, and their layers. While creating a vivid interior life for them with playable actions and choices. She has a passion for the creative freedom that genre hybrids like sci-fi, horror, fantasy, and action can bring to the screen for women. ⁣ ⁣ Fundamentally Bianca is drawn to roles that empower the underdog, the outsider. Those that have lost hope, those who are marginalized, repressed, feel abandoned, or lost like they don’t belong. Or don’t know why they are here. The lost ones that are told that they’ll never amount to anything.⁣ ⁣ Bianca wants to tell stories that empower the viewer to show what's possible. She wants her viewer to feel as if they know this person and can recognize themselves in them. So they can say “Yes! This is what I want for me, this is why I am here, this is my meaning, this is my purpose, and you will not stop me.⁣ ⁣⁣ Bianca says…if one person sees the work on screen, and decides to bring more meaning to what they do and create, then I have done my job. ⁣⁣ VISIT: https://biancaterito.com/media/ // S K I L L S // SPORTS / FITNESS: Advanced Weightlifting, Weight training, Athletic Yoga (5+ Years), Calisthenics TRACK AND FIELD: Sprinter 50, 75, 100mtr⁣ FIREARMS TRAINED: Pistol Shooting and tactical, USA Firearms license, weapons trained, field-strip ⁣ DRIVES: Shift Stick / Manual DANCE: Modern, nightclub grind MODEL: Runway, commercial, fitness, athletic-sports modeling ⁣ SPOKESPERSON: Video presenter, personal performance coach ⁣ VOICEOVER: Radio commercials, Software Apps, non-broadcast, corporate training videos ⁣ OTHER: Achieved Permanent USA Residency Status (Green Card Holder).
