New York, NY - July 31, 2025 - After building a successful modeling career across Asia—walking in Vietnam Fashion Week and fronting campaigns for global giants like Nespresso, Honda, Klarna, and Puma—Czech-born, New York-based actor Kris Prihodova is stepping into the spotlight as a multi-hyphenate creative force with her debut film “HER.”
Currently in production, HER marks Prihodova’s debut as both a writer and director, co-directing alongside filmmaker Michael Parrella. Known for her dedication to character-driven drama, Kris brings to life not just one, but two distinct roles in the film—most notably Nyra, a woman who is pushed to take justice into her own hands.
“I didn’t want to just be seen for my looks—I wanted to prove that I can carry real emotional weight,” said Kris Prihodova, actor, co-director, and writer of HER. “This story speaks to a larger issue we often try to ignore. It’s raw, it’s uncomfortable—but it’s necessary. And I wanted to show that I can not only tell that story but live it on screen.”
After completing formal acting training in New York, Kris immersed herself in independent film—appearing in more than 20 short dramas. Many of these films have begun making their way through U.S. film festivals, a testament to her growing presence as a dramatic performer to watch. With HER, she’s taking things a step further—using her experience to craft a film that is not only cinematic but socially relevant.
Starring opposite Jake Lesh, HER is a gripping tale that explores the blurred lines of justice, power, and consequence. The film aims to spark conversations across both American and European audiences and is already being positioned for a robust festival run beginning late 2025.
