Mariah Porrata

I’m an actor and storyteller who’s always been drawn to the emotional architecture of film the way a single moment can hold truth, chaos, and connection all at once. My love for performance started early, but it’s evolved alongside a career that’s given me a deep appreciation for how stories are built from concept to screen to audience. Before stepping into acting, I built a career in communications and PR, developing campaigns, writing stories, and managing creative projects that connected people through shared experiences. That work taught me how to listen, observe, and translate emotion skills that now shape how I approach every role I play. I studied Sociology and Musical Theater in college, where I learned to understand people as both subjects and stories. Whether I’m on set or in rehearsal, I’m most at home exploring the quiet details that make characters real the small, human moments that sit between the lines. Film has always felt like the place where all my worlds meet: creativity, empathy, and a love for honest storytelling. My goal is to keep telling stories that move people and to do it with intention, curiosity, and heart. 💕
