Micaela Wittman is an American actress and writer who played roles on Clairevoyant, Remy & Arletta, Modern Family, and Teen Wolf.[2][3] Additionally, Wittman was named one of six up-and-comers in "The Next Act series" by V and Hedi Slimane.[1]
Early life[edit]
Micaela Wittman was born in Rhinebeck, New York and raised in Arizona. She was raised as a Jehovah's Witness in a strict family before deciding to drop out of high school to pursue her acting career.[4]
Career[edit]
Wittman is known for her titular role in the Gravitas Ventures film Clairevoyant (2021) which was nominated for a 2021 British Independent Film Festival award.[5][6] Most of the interview segments in the film were shot over the course of one day and later edited together to form the basis of the script.[7] Made on a budget of 3,000 dollars in the run-and-gun tradition, it was later sold internationally at the Marché du Film after six months of production, mainly shot on the weekends.[8][9] Because of her ability to make films on low budgets, Wonderland Magazine cited her as an "indie film goddess."[10]
In addition to making low-budget films, she recurred as Tara Raeken, the sister of Theo Raeken, in the MTV supernatural drama Teen Wolf.[11] She also appeared as Katie Holmes in A.P. Bio and Maggie in the Netflix film Shirley.[12][13]
In 2022 she published the coming of age novel, Remy & Arletta, which was based on a true story about two teenagers who lean on their friendship to get through troubling teenage years.[14][15] It was adapted into a film which premiered at Outfest 2022, before being released in theaters fall of 2023.[16][17] The story chronicles her own relationship with her alcoholic and abusive mother, and incorporates her experience as a Jehovah's Witness.[18][19]
In May 2023, V included her in the annual "The Next Act series" by Hedi Slimane.[1]
