The Story

For the overthinkers, romantics, and women holding it together—until they aren’t

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. Raised on a steady stream of Cinderella, Singin' in the Rain, and Hannah Montana, she dreamed of stepping into a bigger, brighter life—or even several. Long before she understood acting as a career, she was staging full blown productions (complete with costumes, props, and living room set recreations) for her stuffed animals. 

Now a​ leading character actress, Regina is often cast as the overthinker, the romantic, or the woman trying (and sometimes failing) to hold it all together. She gravitates toward characters 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 genre-driven storytelling.

​

She graduated magna cum laude from Scripps College, where she studied political theory with minors in theatre and film. With a politics degree in hand and zero intention of becoming a politician, she came to the conclusion that the best way for her to change the world was by changing minds, and that the best way to do that was by first changing hearts. With a mission to more deeply connect humans with themselves and others, she made her way to New York.

​

Regina's film work includes the cult sci-fi feature Skye Hoshi: Anime Girl, which has screened internationally—from the U.S. and Canada to the Philippines and Romania—building a dedicated fanbase, as well as the action-fantasy-comedy Ghost Punchers, which reached #4 in Amazon Prime’s fantasy category. She also appears in the horror musical The Ghost Light, earning a Best Actress nomination at the North Hollywood CineFest, and in Face the Music, Greyson Grey.

​

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 parks and late-night cabaret venues—where she’s developed a particular fondness for new work, originating roles, and building stories from the ground up with fellow 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 has traveled across the U.S. and Canada paneling at conventions and FanExpos, connecting with audiences and building communities from the ground up.

​

Off-camera, she can usually be found watching socio-political commentary videos, working along the New York seaport, or sending voice memos to her loved ones that rarely clock in under ten minutes.

​

She remains drawn to stories that ask people to be thoughtful, flawed, full humans—whether that means falling in love, losing control, or, occasionally, saving the world.
