Today we’d like to introduce you to Silvia Kal.
Silvia Kal is an actress and TV host from Madrid, Spain, who currently resides in Los Angeles.
Silvia has been the Woman Of The Week by GQ magazine, A Woman We Love by Esquire magazine, one of the 28 Influential Women’s in Latinamerica by Spanish Influential magazine, and the woman of the month of March that Men’s Health magazine Mexico ran on its pages. Silvia is currently the image of the bikini line Swim By Judit and has worked for brands such as Google, Sony, Natura Bisse, Mezcal El Silencio, etc.
Her trademark golden eyes have made Silvia Kal a rising star. She has worked in a number of films, short films, music videos, and commercials.
We’ve seen her playing the psychologist of David Bisbal, one of the biggest singers in Spain and Latin America, racing cars against Snoop Dogg, playing a soldier in the commercial of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s video game Mobile Strike, and lately, she was one of the leads in the web series Crypto Game.
Silvia co-wrote and co-produced an anti-bullying short film that is now in post-production and will be presented to film festivals soon.
She has taken dance classes since she was three years old, becoming later on a professional dancer and doing exhibitions in the Dominican Republic.
Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
This industry is never a smooth road. It is hard and frustrating but when you love what you do, you keep going… it is still hard even when you’ve been working for years, but the more you work and the more people get to know what you do, the easier it gets. It takes a really long time to get somewhere and most people give up before something big happens.
My advice for other women and also men is to work as hard as you can but always select the projects you take, and not to take any rejection personally.
Please tell us about your work.
What I love the most about acting is that you get to play all kinds of different people (crazy, funny, dumb, very smart, or anything you can think of). I also like working in different environments and with different people. All my experiences on set have been a total joy with really professional, respectful crews.
Do you think there are structural or other barriers impeding the emergence of more female leaders?
Unfortunately, women still have a long way to go… I know producers who recognized not even thinking about the possibility of hiring a woman when they have to think about what director to hire for their movie. That tells you everything. But with the women’s rights movement we are having lately, I feel we are making a lot of progress.
