Manuela Wenger is an independent Swiss actress working internationally. In 2025, she leads in a Swiss feature film and is cast in another feature film production scheduled for later this year. She gained recognition for her roles in "Velo Gang" and "Follow Us #ICarus," both released in Swiss theaters in 2024. "Velo Gang" premiered at the Oscar-qualifying Warsaw International Film Festival and toured internationally, including the Beijing International Film Festival.
Committed to her craft, Manuela recently trained with Seamus McNally (Orange is the New Black, Black Mirror) in early 2025. Her extensive training includes work at the Giles Foreman Centre for Acting (London), Anthony Meindl's Acting Studio (Hollywood), and with Academy Award-winning director Paul Haggis (Million Dollar Baby, Casino Royale).
Manuela's athletic abilities include snowboarding, longboarding, weight training, and yoga-skills she confidently performs on camera. Growing up on her family farm, she developed professional-level horsemanship from an early age, bringing authenticity, empathy, and natural intuition to her performances.
Her previous career in international horse racing has equipped her with valuable insights into competitive environments similar to the film industry. Manuela is fluent in English, French, Italian, German, and Spanish, making her a versatile talent for international productions. Whether on horseback or on camera, Manuela brings an authentic presence and intuitive understanding of human nature to every role she embodies.
