Get In TouchPriyam Samantray (b. 1987) is an independent actor and filmmaker based in Rijswijk, Netherlands. His work spans theatre, short film, and experimental performance — a practice shaped by a deep interest in human emotion and authentic storytelling.
With a background in student theatre and a growing body of independent film work, Priyam brings a considered, nuanced approach to every role — whether performing in front of the camera, behind it, or both simultaneously.
His debut short film as writer-director-actor, Take A Break (2026), is an independent production exploring creativity, stillness, and the restorative power of nature.
A writer sits alone with an empty page and an even emptier mind. The words refuse to arrive. Defeated, he steps outside — not with purpose, but with surrender. He cycles through still streets, drifts along wooded paths, and lies beneath a canopy of leaves. Nature, indifferent to deadlines, offers him something no desk ever could — silence that actually listens. When he returns, something has shifted. The page that once defeated him quietly fills itself to the end.
"When words run dry, nature writes for you."
Open to roles in independent film, drama, documentary, and experimental projects. Available for self-tape, in-person auditions, and productions across the Netherlands and beyond.
"Versatile, disciplined, and committed to authentic storytelling."
