Zino Ventura, a remarkable individual born in South Africa, embarked on his acting and producing career later in life, following his crowning achievement as MR South Africa in 2008. During his reign, he conceptualized and presented the popular South African television show C.I.G.A.R.E, a men's lifestyle program sponsored by Peroni. This experience sparked a newfound passion for the entertainment industry, and Ventura drew inspiration from the acclaimed film "District 9" to pursue his lifelong dream of acting.
Ventura enrolled in an acting studio in London, where he studied "The Method" under the guidance of renowned instructor Brian Timoney. This marked the beginning of his journey as an actor, and he soon leveraged his business acumen to create and drive film projects, allowing him to hone his acting skills and develop his career.
Within a remarkably short period, Ventura created his first project, an original science fiction concept titled "Cambion Chronicles" (2014),a full-length feature film still in development. He then spent considerable time in Los Angeles, furthering his education at the Relativity School.
Ventura's next endeavor was an American-style horror film, co-produced with director Alastair Orr, resulting in the creation of "From a House on Willow Street" (2016). With a keen eye for new opportunities, Ventura will continue to produce films while actively seeking to expand and solidify his career as an actor.
