Venice Film Festival reveals new talent Maika Monroe

Every year the festival reveals a young new talent, and now seems to be the moment of Maika Monroe. She stars with Zac Efron in Ramin Bahrani’s new movie At Any Price, shining throughout the film with her authentic looks and heartfelt interpretation.

Maika just turned 19 and has already been cast by Sofia Coppola for her forthcoming release The Bling Ring, as well as Jason Raitman’s Labor Day, where she shared the set with Kate Winslet and Josh Brolin.

Acting is not Maika’s only occupation; she also practices freestyle kiteboarding and designs surf outfits with Airbound Apparel.

The career of the young actress may have only just begun, but you will surely hear about her again.
