Marc Morales is an American published playwright, actor and filmmaker, hailing straight from the streets of New York. His style blends modern campy dialogue with a vintage feel and showcases his offbeat creativity. He learned the industry from the ground up and adds zerbing, singing and dancing to his list of talents. He was raised in Westchester County, NY and found a love for performing at an early age. At the age of eighteen, he was a contestant on Amateur Night at the Apollo and although he didn't win, he survived the infamous Apollo audience and lived to sing another day. A few years later he met comedian Rich Jackson and joined his improvisation group, the Chocolate Bandits. During this time Morales worked on his writing and producing skills, which led to forming the Edge Of Insanity Theater company with producer Kari O'Donnell. While always a fan of vintage horror movies like The Evil Dead and The Exorcist, he tended to favor the fast pace of live theater in New York. He moved to Los Angeles in 2005, where he continued to write and perform around LA, but was somewhat disillusioned that the script to finished movie process was so much slower than live theater. He returned to New York for a couple of years and decided instead of watching horror movies he would try to write one, which would later be titled 521 North Main Street. In 2019 he moved to Austin, Texas and formed High Five'n Ants Productions with two colleagues, producing the micro-budget film during the challenges of the pandemic. Morales has subsequently produced Lebmig's Department Store, a horror short, and the sequel to 521 North Main Street is in line to begin production. He has years of material written and is actively pursuing the process of bringing them to film.
