MATTIE MACAYA GONZALES

STORYTELLER

Inhabiting the life of another is my biggest thrill. I consider acting a lifelong craft.

 From local theatre to film, I have a love for it all—I prioritize body work and improvisation, and I employ Meisner, Adler, and Hagen techniques.

Writing was my first love. From poetry to proposals, I am a firm believer that the world can be shaped from the tip of a pen.

As of 2020, I've enjoyed immersing myself in writing, developing, and revising scripts. 


I've done sketches and illustrations since I was 8. I love doing character concepts and storyboards for films, as well as ground plans in theatre. 

The ability to translate a vision from the mind onto paper is so fun, especially within a team. I like to craft my own visions, as well as those of other writers/creators.

It's an occasional hobby for me, another way of viewing the world and capturing the essence of something to evoke a reaction in others. 

In the coming year, I hope to do a showing of a shoot from October 2021 titled "Season of the Witch."

It's been so much fun shooting with such a range of photographers throughout my life.  

To feel truly seen is such a humbling, amazing experience.
