My name is Kassy Mahea (you can call me Kass). I’m a filmmaker, actress, and photographer.
From the Big Island of Hawaii, I quickly learned the art of staying creative in the face of island fever. This meant getting creative with friends, shooting short films, playing dress-up, believing in magic, and studying the rest of the world through my TV screen--movies and music were my teachers.
​
now based in Joshua Tree, California, I'm inspired by romantasy gothic novels, eras of the past, the sound of Rain, My Cat, a warm bath, and dark comedies.
Most of all, I'm drawn to celebrating the absurdities of human nature and embracing the beauty & flaws of what it means to exist.
​
Oh, and I still play dress-up.
