Rabat – The Moroccan actress and screenwriter, Mouna Rmiki, has won two best actress awards for her work in the short film “The Green Lotto”. Rmiki won at the IndieFEST Film Awards in California and also at The Best Shorts Competition in New York City.
Rmiki wrote The Green Lotto and she portrays Kareema in the film which tells the story of a couple trying to obtain a Green Card in an attempt to gain American citizenship.
Rmiki was born in Geneva and grew up in Spain before moving to Morocco’s capital, Rabat, at the age of 12. After having successfully completed high school, she enrolled in the ISCAE business school while also taking drama classes with Youssef Britel and Jean Marie Courtois, after which she immediately landed several roles.
The Moroccan actress discovered her passion for acting at a very young age; after a long and flourishing journey of self-discovery and relentless efforts in theatre and several other art projects she flew to the United States five years ago to pursue her career on Broadway. She also co-wrote a play on immigration in the United States called “Nowhere.”
Rmiki is also known for performances in “l’histoire des hommes qui ne reviennent jamais” (2014) and “Too Proud to Die” (2016).
