Katie Mack

Mack was born and raised in Queens, NY. Her first role in the stage play, Rhythm is Gonna Get You, instilled an innate need to perform that she would suppress until her freshman year in college. She began earning her stripes in entertainment as a background artist in Hype Williams' first silver screen directorial endeavor, Belly. With the dream reignited, Mack moved on to be featured on Chapelle's Show and in the blockbuster hit American Gangster. As a graduate of the Meisner conservatory program at The William Esper Studio, Katie has also studied at Matthew Corozine and HB Studios. In a time that dictates creative brand strategy as a business must-have, Mack is responsible for the KMackBrand, a comprehensive look at everything that is Katie Mack. The Brand can be defined in four simple words, "Be Inspired. Be You." and is an artistic derivation of acting, writing, and filmmaking. With her first lead role in the film The Trade Off (2006) a few years later under her KMackBrand umbrella, she premiered her first short, MAC, at the NYC International Film Festival in NY City (2012), celebrated an Emmy nominated PSA for the Rhode Island International Film Festival (which Mack was the lead in, 2015), has had two of her films in The Peoples Film Festival in NYC (at the same time in 2017) and has won Best Director for one of them. Mack recently finished a five episode miniseries, Charlie, which is prepping for festival activities, and is developing her first feature film.
