Victoria Vertuga

Victoria Vertuga is a California native who now splits her time between Los Angeles and Atlanta. After graduating Magna Cum Laude from USC, she worked on the business side of entertainment before deciding to follow her heart and pursue a career in front of the camera. She's been featured in national commercials for many major brands including Gap, Budweiser, and Geico. Her first major television appearance came on the long running soap opera "Days of Our Lives" and was quickly followed by a guest appearance in Dexter.

Shockingly unfulfilled by playing endless variations of "hot blonde," "dumb blonde" and "hot, dumb blonde" she branched out into writing, directing, and producing. Her pilot scripts "Tithes" and "The Other City" have been semifinalists in multiple screenwriting competitions including the highly competitive Austin Film Festival. DisGraced, a darkly comedic web series, made its festival premiere in spring of 2021 at the Women's Comedy Film Festival. It has since played at over 45 film festivals, garnering over 20 award nominations and 10 wins, including multiple Best Comedy and Best Actress wins.

Her directorial debut "Lexi," which she also wrote and stars in, was released in fall 2022. Her latest project, Cold Blows the Wind, premiered at Horror Hound film festival in March 2023 where it won Best Feature, Judge's Choice, and she was nominated for Best Actress.

A huge animal lover, she's an avid volunteer with Best Friends Animal Society/NKLA, part of the core team of Angel City Pitbulls and the proud dog-mom of 3 rescue pit bulls.
