Riley Demis

Riley Demis is an Australian actor known for his collaborations with independent filmmaker Aiden Diorio. Emerging through Australia's underground film scene, Demis has become a recurring presence in a growing catalogue of experimental, comedy and independent productions that favour authenticity, spontaneity and unconventional storytelling over mainstream filmmaking traditions. Beginning with the improvised comedy films Convenience (2024) and KLUB (2024), Demis quickly established himself as a performer comfortable with unpredictable situations and naturalistic performances. His ability to adapt to loose structures and spontaneous moments allowed him to fit seamlessly into Diorio's distinctive style of filmmaking. Between 2024 and 2026, Demis appeared in a diverse collection of projects including Tulsa (2026), Sucker Punch (2026), Rampage009 (2026), The Rat King (2026), The Boiling Frog (2026), Dante's Inferno (2026), and The Seventh Layer of Hell (2026). Across these films, he portrayed a variety of characters while helping bring to life stories that explored youth, identity, friendship, social alienation and the strange realities of modern life. As a performer, Demis is recognised for his relatable screen presence and willingness to embrace unusual material. Whether appearing in comedy-driven projects or darker experimental works, he approaches each role with a sense of realism that complements the raw atmosphere of independent cinema. Working alongside a new generation of Australian filmmakers, Demis continues to build a varied body of work that reflects the creative spirit of grassroots filmmaking. Although much of the work he has participated in remains largely underground, his performances have become an important part of the collaborative film projects that have emerged from the Australian independent scene between 2024 and 2026.
