Camilla Overbye Roos, a dynamic and multifaceted individual, was born in the culturally rich and vibrant city of Copenhagen, Denmark, a place that would later become the backdrop for her lifelong passion for the film industry. As a member of a three-generation family of filmmakers, Camilla was fortunate enough to have been immersed in the world of cinema from a very young age, spending a substantial portion of her childhood surrounded by the sights and sounds of a film studio in Copenhagen.
Camilla's childhood was marked by an insatiable curiosity and a keen observational eye, which naturally drew her towards the captivating world of film. From a tender age, she was already demonstrating a keen sense of industry acumen, quickly gravitating towards the behind-the-scenes aspects of filmmaking. As a result, she began working both in front of and behind the camera, making her maiden appearance in a feature film at the tender age of just three years old. Throughout the course of her illustrious career, Camilla has had the unparalleled privilege of collaborating with some of the most esteemed and respected directors in the industry, including the acclaimed and often provocative Lars von Trier, the enigmatic and innovative David Lynch, the visionary and accomplished Ridley Scott, and the groundbreaking and pioneering James Cameron.
Camilla's life took an extraordinary turn at the tender age of 14, when she made the bold decision to leave the conventional path behind and join a traveling circus as a knife thrower. This unorthodox career choice proved to be a defining moment in her life, as she went on to perform this thrilling role for a period of one year.
It was the dawn of a new millennium, specifically the year 2000, when Camilla embarked on a bold entrepreneurial endeavour, courageously establishing her own production company, aptly named Kraka Productions, in homage to the rich cultural heritage of Viking mythology.
Camilla's remarkable acting prowess was brought to the forefront in the year 2003, as she delivered a truly exceptional performance in the cinematic masterpiece "Under the Influence". This outstanding portrayal of hers did not go unnoticed, as it earned her the most coveted and prestigious award in the industry - the Best Actress award - at the renowned New York Independent Film Festival.
