	Catrine Mcgregor Catrine McGregor’s exciting childhood was certainly instrumental in forming her love for people and adventure, key elements to her current incarnation as a Producer and Casting Director, author, teacher,  radio talk show host and speaker. Born to an Air Force officer and a French mother, Catrine spent much of her childhood in France and Germany, where she became fluent in both languages and has also retained a working knowledge of Spanish, from summers spent on the Costa del Sol. Much to her delight, Catrine’s family moved to Los Angeles the summer before she started college at Loyola-Marymount University.   A French major, Catrine’s work was often done more quickly than that of her classmates due to her being a fluent speaker, so she befriended the students and professors of the film department. Receiving her BA in French at the age of 19, Catrine continued her studies at Loyola-Marymount University, while teaching school full time at Beverly Hills Catholic School, where she taught Laura Dern and Bridget Kelly, whose famous father, Gene, encouraged her heavily to pursue her passion for the entertainment industry. Two days after graduating with her dual Master’s Degrees in Film/TV and Education, Catrine was hired by Disney to produce the first training tapes made for the walking characters at Disneyland. From there, she worked on an array of projects as a freelance Producer, including two fascinating projects which sealed her yearning to work in the regional market. One film was a docu-drama - a  look at the future called ‘Jupiter Menace,’ the other was a whimsical 3D project produced for a Six Flags Theme Park called ‘The Power Plant’ in the Baltimore Harbor, which filmed all over the country. During that time period, Catrine wrote a cookbook entitled Vive La Difference as well as several screenplays.   A relationship and love of the mountains took Catrine to Utah, where she worked as Vice-President of Development for Osmond Studios. She was asked to cast a film which famous local resident Robert Redford was producing, and Catrine’s casting company was launched with the film Promised Land, starring four unknowns at the time, including Meg Ryan,  Kiefer Sutherland and Tracy Pollan (Michael J. Fox’ wife). Over the course of the next ten years, McGregor casting was involved in many exciting projects, including four IMAX films that took her all over the West,   beautiful Zion Canyon and Kanab in Southern Utah, and breathtaking Hearst Castle. It was an IMAX film for Academy Award winning director Kieth (not a typo!) Merrill in the gentle Ozarks mountains that led to Catrine to move to Southern Missouri, where she continued to work as a casting director (in LA mainly), and where she began to develop a real, legitimate  resource company for regional people just breaking into acting.   Catrine’s work continued to take her back to LA, and in 1996, she moved back and began actively casting. One of her favorite projects was an animated feature produced by NASA to encourage America’s youth to choose the sciences as a career. Some of the actors who participated in the project were John Travolta, James Earl Jones, Anne Archer and  Tim Curry.   In 1999, Catrine was approached by the Utah based firm Access Software to return to Utah to produce and cast their extremely popular interactive game Tex Murphy. She did, and it won her two Cody Awards - the electronic media version of the Academy Award. McGregor Casting also continued to thrive, and Catrine, along with her partner Jeff Johnson, cast many wonderful projects - many for the Disney Channel - ’Luck of the Irish’, ’Double Teamed’ and ’Hounded’ to name a few. But her most memorable films - by far - were Salma Hayek and Danny Glover’s directorial debuts, ’Maldonado Miracle’ and ’Just a Dream,’ respectively. A member of the prestigious Casting Society of America (CSA), Catrine was also nominated to an Artio Award for her casting of the ’Firestarter’ TV pilot.   The year 2003 brought her to North Carolina to be near her aging parents. During that time, Catrine focused on being with them and  taught acting seminars all over the country. She continued to develop her regional actors’ resource  during that time as well. After the passing of her father in 2005, Catrine resumed casting and became active in the North Carolina scene.   In 2009, McGregor moved to Idaho, where she continues to cast and produce. She is actively further  developing her actors’ resource,  Act Across America!, and will be launching an on-line magazine for actors in the Summer of 2010..  McGregor is in development on several projects, including a faith based teen oriented film called As a Family, to be directed by actors Todd and Jimmy Bridges, an acting reality show, I AM AN ACTOR,  The Hidden Room, a family oriented feature film with Native American healing as a base, and a powerful, timely film, Belief, about how the love of a child transcends Christian/Muslim differences. McGregor is also proud to work with the National Guard in providing Iraqis and Afghans from all over the US to help train our troops being deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. These exercises have proven to save thousands of lives – of both our troops and civilians- in countries where our troops are deployed.    CatMac Productions is also partners with Production Services in Paris, France and Idea Media in Lagos, Nigeria, which has several projects in development, including a street magic TV show entitled Abracadabra.
