Stephanie Benamra is an author, actress and debut film director.

Death makes you feel that life is enough in itself.

To create it is to express yourself in your clearest and deepest essence
without any external consideration or aim of achievement.

I have always wanted to live life as a piece of art and inject real life into art.

actress and producer Stephanie Benamra

BIOGRAPHY
