Karma Balint

Shera grew up in the small French town of Kapuskasing, Ontario, the same hometown as director James Cameron. She moved to Toronto at the age of 18 to pursue a modeling career. In her years as a model she worked with many notable photographers such as Marcus Klinko, George Whiteside, Ian Cuttler, and rock-star turned photog Bryan Adams. She also worked with director and part-time photographer Andrew Thomas Hunt, who was immediately taken by her on-camera presence.

While conceiving the character of Karma, Andrew realized that Shera was a natural choice for the role, despite her having no previous acting experience. Her audition then solidified Andrew's hunch. Although at first reluctant to take on such a demanding role, Shera quickly rose to the challenge. She took acting lessons, studied martial arts, learned how to handle a variety of weapons, and took a weekend workshop in the fine art of pole dancing. The end result speaks for itself, Shera is as captivating in motion pictures as she is in stills. But don't expect to see Shera rush into her next film project, because unlike many women her age she has no desire to be a star. As such, Karma may not just be Shera's first-ever acting role, it may possibly be her only one.
