Katy Wright-Mead is a SAG-AFTRA Actor, WGA Screenwriter and Producer.

She stars in and co-wrote the Sundance Film Festival short, Sometimes I Think About Dying, which was shortlisted for the 92nd Academy Awards for Best Live Action Short Film and screened in theaters internationally as part of the Sundance Short film Tour. Katy co-wrote the feature film adaptation of the same title, starring Daisy Ridley and Meg Stalter, which premiered opening night at Sundance and is distributed by Oscilloscope

Favorite acting credits include working with director, Tim Van Patten, as a recurring on Boardwalk Empire, keeping pace with Steven Soderbergh and Clive Owen on The Knick and playing on the set of the CBS half-hour comedy Rush Hour, where James Roday offered possibly her favorite direction— stress the “malt” in maltipoo and make it 10% funnier. She did and it was.

Recently, Katy worked with May Calamawy on Rana Roy’s multi award winning short, Night Feeds, now streaming on MUBI and co-starred alongside Wrenn Schmidt in the Short Of The Week short, Stitches written and directed by Victoria Frings.

For the theater nerds, Katy has worked with Ars Nova, Arena Stage, Irish Repertory, Irish Arts Center and Royal Family Productions, with performances reviewed by The New York Times as "touching" and by BackStage as "heartbreaking" and "endearingly eccentric". She is a graduate of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts (NYC) and an alumnus of UCB, Larry Moss Intensive, T. Schreiber Studio and Heidi Marshall.
