The Story

Regina Famatigan (she/her) is a New York City based Asian American actress, singer, and storyteller.

 

The daughter of Filipino immigrants, she grew up in the borderland of El Paso, Texas before graduating magna cum laude from Scripps College, where she studied political philosophy with minors in theatre and film. With a politics degree in hand and zero intention of becoming a politician, she moved out eastward with the thesis that one of the best ways she could work at changing minds was by first changing hearts. 

 

Now a​ leading character actress, Regina gravitates towards women who are earnest, quick-witted, and emotionally complex. She brings quirky humor, emotional depth, and a touch of chaos to work that spans from classical theater to action fantasy comedies.​

​

Regina's filmography includes the cult sci-fi feature Skye Hoshi: Anime Girl (2023), which has screened internationally (from the U.S. and Canada to the Philippines and Romania) as well as the action-fantasy-comedy Ghost Punchers (2025), which reached #4 in Amazon Prime’s fantasy category and headlined the inaugural Indie Film Showcase at New York City Comic Con. She also appears in the award-winning horror musical The Ghost Light (2023), earning a Best Actress nomination at the North Hollywood CineFest, and in Face the Music, Greyson Grey (2025), Widowed (2026), and Nanny Nena's (2027).

​

On stage, Regina has performed Off-Broadway at venues including Ars Nova and The Players Theatre, where she originated a role in the Dungeons and Dragons musical Here There Be Dragons. She has also performed Off-Off Broadway and across New York City in a wide range of spaces—from black box theaters to public parks and late-night cabaret venues—developing a particular fondness for new work, originating roles, and building stories from the ground up with fellow upcoming artists. ​

​

Beyond acting, she is also a writer, director, and producer, having developed plays, screenplays, and audio dramas, and has assisted directing Off-Broadway. Additionally, she is the front woman of egg-based comedy duo band REGINA THE BAND and has traveled across the U.S. and Canada paneling at Comic Cons and FanExpos, connecting with audiences and building grassroots film communities from the ground up.

​

Off-camera, she can usually be found watching socio-political commentary videos, walking along the nearest large body of water, and sending long, meandering voice memos to her loved ones.

​

She remains drawn to stories that ask people to be thoughtful, flawed, full humans. As she stays on this journey herself, she welcomes and thanks you for coming along :)
