MYSTICARTTPICTURES Katy Wallin launched the award-winning, multifaceted casting and production company, MysticArt Pictures. Un- der her leadership, the company has become an innovative force in the entertainment industry. With a fierce commitment to creating visionary and innovative projects, Katy has successfully completed over 800 hours of television programming, over 75 feature films, and thousands of hours of unscripted television shows.
Katy’s mission has always been to IMAGINE, COLLABORATE & CREATE... She is proud to have collaborated with and contributed to the careers of Ryan Reynolds, James Earl Jones, Jon Bon Jovi, Jeff Probst Dave Matthews, bernie Mac,Tom Green, Jason Alexander and so many other talented individuals in the Motion Picture and Televi- sion Industry.
With her tenacious approach and believing that anything is possible, Katy raised Equity Funds and produced the award-winning and critically acclaimed independent film, Finder’s Fee. The film stars iconic actor James Earl Jones, Oscar nominated actor Robert Forster, Erik Palladino, Matthew Lillard, and Ryan Reynolds. She partnered with writer/director Jeff Probst. Finder’s Fee was acquired and released by Lions Gate Entertainment. Katy has always had a passion for working on projects that promote positive family values and believes it is important to cherish classic literary achievements through the film medium. She produced the award-winning, time-honored classic Where the Red Fern Grows, starring Dave Matthews, which was released by Walt Disney Studios. Katy recently completed producing Tom Green’s feature film Prankstar.
Katy has once again teamed up with Jeff Probst to produce Kiss Me, a coming of age story that explores the challenges that accompany being a teenage girl transitioning into adulthood. For 15-year-old Zoe (Sarah Bolger) this transition is further complicated when she learns she has scoliosis and must wear a back brace. Already at an awkward age, Zoe now feels unattractive and -- as many teenagers do-- alienated from her parents. She seeks attention and affection from Chance (John Corbett), the man whose kids she babysits. She may also be develop- ing feelings for her best friend Shelby (Emily Osment). Jenna Fischer (The Office, Hall Pass), Rita Wilson ( Wife, It’s Complicated), Steven Weber (Wings, Without a Trace), and Emily Bicks round out a stellar cast. Jeff Probst will also be directing this feature, which is a beautiful story written by Liz Sarnoff (Lost, Deadwood, Alcatraz).
When Katy expanded MysticArt to include an unscripted television department, the company quickly earned a reputation for being one of the most established and well respected in the industry. Katy has had the privilege of working with almost every major broadcast and cable network including ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, HBO, MTV, USA, OWN, Oxygen, Lifetime, Bravo, TLC, and E! Entertainment. This led to projects such as the hit television series WIPEOUT (Season 1-5), The Choice, Million Dollar Money Drop, THe Moment, Dating in the Dark, The Mole, How to Look Good Naked, Top Design, Paradise Hotel, Nanny 911, just to name a few. Because of her extensive network and relationships with talent, Katy has further expanded by creating, developing, and packaging new television content and providing production services to networks and other production companies. She recently created and executive produced a real life romantic comedy Welcome to the Family. She partnered with media mogul Reveille Entertainment and the late Bernie Mac to produce the pilot for NBC.
Katy has been featured on Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, Extra, MTV, Entertainment Weekly, People Magazine, LA Times, New York Times, and several other national television shows and publications. She has lec- tured all over the US and was a guest instructor at USC and UCLA where she developed curriculum on what it takes to build, launch and sustain a successful brand in the industry.
