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.
