Want a little history on Kari McCullough?

During her time at East Carolina University, after dropping out of the women’s soccer program, she discovered acting classes. Gaining experience in the performance arts she also discovered her knack for directing. So, naturally, she ventured out to LA, did a couple of gigs, learned about photography and lighting, and returned back home within the year.

Back in DC she wrote a short film, cast five actors, acted, directed, and shot the entire short film herself. Unfortunately the short film was soon lost in her travels to San Francisco after attempting to travel the country in an RV one year older than her. On the positive side, she was still able to film her first music video through Octofoil Records.
