At the age of 8, Shmuel Beru walked across the Sudanese desert to immigrate to Israel. Over the last few years, Shmuel has begun making waves across seas of communities and styles. He is bringing humor, entertainment and unique cultural flavors to his peers and to audiences both young and old.
Shmuel studied political science and theater at Haifa University. After a few stints at the Habima Theater in Tel Aviv and at the IDF Theater, Shmuel discovered he has a knack for acting.
Shmuel, however, sought out more than the satisfaction of appearing on stage and perfecting the performance of rehearsed words. His creative spirit and his bold, uncanny sense of humor continued to burn deep within. Following his heart and allowing seemingly distant dreams to crystallize, Shmuel began to write. He produced a script that led to his prize-winning film, Zrubavel, which was also his directorial debut. The Haifa International Film Festival awarded the film Best Drama in 2008 and in Sicily, Zrubavel claimed the Special Jury Prize at the Taormina Film Festival.
Shmuel continues to write, direct and act. He performs in Hebrew and Amharic and he has performed his one-man show, Milah Shel Etyopi, on stages across Israel. In addition to film and theater, Shmuel is also a stand-up comedian at various locations and events, including the ones he co-organizes with his business partner and good friend, Fanta Prada.
