Ella Lee
Ella Lee is a German-Irish actress and screenwriter. She grew up in Berlin and played one of her first roles at the age of twelve in the first German Netflix series, "Dark". Since then she has appeared in 28 film and television productions — in 2025 in the title role of ALEA in the English-language adaptation of the youth book series "Alea Aquarius", which will stream in many countries in 2026. Ella Lee has been studying screenwriting and directing at the Vienna Film Academy since 2022. Most of her stories belong to the realm of magical realism and often deal with the macabre and with death — never, though, without a sense of humour.
