Ray Mamrak is a union and guild affiliated writer, director, and occasional actor. Ray was recognized by The Screen Actors Guild in 2013 as one of the most active producers in areas of the North Eastern United States, and continues to develop and create new projects for television, film and new media release worldwide.
Starting in his youth as an amateur filmmaker armed with a Kodak Super8 camera he was making live action and stop motion films to show to family and friends; Ray always knew his calling. It was after working as a background actor on the set of the film Eddie And The Cruisers in his freshman year of high school that her really fell in love with everything about filmmaking.
After a stint in the Untied States Army he began his education to become a filmmaker attending several colleges, universities, and private schools. Some of which he has taught at since. After receiving his formal education Ray started feeling out all the avenues of the entertainment business working for different studios, networks and independent film outfits in any capacity they would take him.
"I wanted to learn it all. I studied films. Watching the great ones over and over to see what made them great. And watching the bad ones to see what made them bad. How can someone be a great filmmaker and performer if they don't understand all the facets of the business. A business that is who they are?," he said in and interview for SAG Magazine. "I still learn every day and will continue to do so until the day I'm laid to rest."
From working as a writer, director, producer, editor, actor, and even credited as a stuntman and costume designer it's obvious Ray is fulfilling his goal of learning it all and has begun taking that knowledge and experience into his own productions and production company's such as Automatic Art Pictures and KMR Entertainment. He was also one of the owners of The Broadway Acting School where he taught the Miesner Technique to students, some of which he still works with today.
