Christina Lyn Mauro, a native Texan, was born in Beaumont, Texas on August 6th. As the youngest of six children, she was raised by a father who was a South Texas cattle rancher and a mother who was an East Texas artist. Mauro's early exposure to the arts had a profound impact on her development, and she began acting at the tender age of seven.
Throughout her childhood and teenage years, Mauro continued to hone her craft, taking on various roles in school productions and plays. Her passion for acting only grew stronger with time, and she went on to pursue a double major in Theater and Psychology at the University of Houston School of Theater.
During her time at the University, Mauro had the opportunity to work with renowned playwright Edward Albee, who cast her as a Siamese twin in his play "United States" as part of his playwriting workshop. This experience not only further solidified her skills as an actress but also provided her with a deeper understanding of the craft.
After graduating from the University, Mauro continued to act on stage in Houston before making the bold decision to relocate to Los Angeles in October 2000. She began studying at Playhouse West under the guidance of Jeff Goldblum, where she developed her skills as a producer and filmmaker.
Mauro's first production project was the 35 mm short film "The Boy Scout," written and directed by Ward Roberts. This marked the beginning of her journey as a producer, and she went on to found FlyHigh Films in 2003. Since then, she has produced numerous shorts and independent features, cementing her reputation as a talented and versatile filmmaker.
Today, Mauro continues to act and produce in both stage and film, always pushing herself to take on new and challenging roles. Her dedication to her craft is evident in every project she undertakes, and she remains a respected and sought-after figure in the entertainment industry.
