Amiee Conn
BIO:
Amiee Conn was born and raised in Sonoma County, California (6th Generation of the Bay Area, 7th Generation Californian) and she is a graduate of the American Musical & Dramatic Academy (AMDA) Conservatory of the Performing Arts in Los Angeles.
Amiee grew up in Anchorage, Alaska for 7 years of her childhood, where she found her love and passion for the Arts and specifically Theatre and Acting, until her family moved back to her hometown of Santa Rosa, CA and she landed her first agent in San Francisco at age 15 at the Los Latinos Agency and Marla Dell Agency. For 4 years she interned with the American Eagle Casting Agency in Santa Rosa, where she gives huge credit and appreciation to Casting Director and friend, Lori Laube, who taught her the benefits of understanding how the other side of the camera/film productions work and how that can make you a better actor for respecting and having the experience and perspectives from both sides of the craft and industry.
Since then, Amiee has worked in numerous stage, film, commercial, and television productions, including the
6 Academy Award winning musical film: LA LA LAND with Director Damien Chazelle, Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling; the FX Network’s Emmy winning series: American Crime Story: The People vs. OJ Simpson with Billy Magnussen, and ABC’s Don’t Trust the B**** in Apartment 23 with the late
James Van Der Beek and Krysten Ritter.
After graduating from AMDA, Amiee studied Meisner Technique with several different studios, including fellow AMDA Alumni and award winning actor - the late Paul Sorvino, and Lawrence Dwyer at the Paul Sorvino Acting Studio in Los Angeles.
In 2006, she was crowned Miss Sonoma County, of the Miss California and Miss America Scholarship Organization
and she received a full scholarship for her college education! Amiee gives full appreciation to her experience and how it instilled the belief and confidence in herself to continue pursuing her love for the performing arts and her vocal talents, while also instilling in her the passion for public-speaking and using your vocal platforms for important social and political issues of the day. She continues to stay involved with her Activism and the Miss America Organization as a Miss California Alumni.
Amiee has appeared on professional stages in leading roles including: EVITA, Disney's Beauty and the Beast, A Song for Vanya, Serrano! , BOTH: A Hard Days Silent Night-The Beatles Annual Charity Rock Concert, The Falling Star at Buzzard’s Roost, and ReSi - An Original Musical .
Currently, Amiee is working on original music and an album
alongside long time friend and Lyricist Joe Nielsen. She is also Co-Host, Content Creator and Producer of The Late Night Lockdown Podcast with Matt and Amiee , J.A.N.E.Talks Podcast,
and is a recurring guest correspondent on The Kruse Control Show (all can be found on Spotify, iTunes, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube platforms and more), which covers weekly current events, social/political issues, political satire, #NerdTalk, and the entertainment industry.
Amiee enjoys working on her artwork through sketching or painting, music, singing, piano, guitar, creative writing, reading books, researching her family genealogy. She has 5 immediate family members who were adopted and is fascinated by History, Anthropology, Archeology and Genealogy - especially researching many of the 7 generations on her maternal Los Californios family line during the early days of Mexico's Alta California and their fascinating stories at that time frame. She is currently working on a book and script about her ancestors of that historical time. Her photography, jumping on a favorite PS5 game, working in her garden, and having nature walks with her dog Bella are also favorites for chill down time.
Amiee has always been an activist at heart since she was a kid and has used her arts and crafts in doing so throughout her life. She has been an advocate and sponsor through PLANUSA.org since 2018 and encourages everyone to use their voice, honor their human rights and get involved with organizations that help global equality. She continues to be a passionate, non-stop vocal activist for many human rights and civil rights causes, including: Reproductive Rights and Bodily Autonomy protection for all, raising awareness and education about the global Green Wave "Marea Verde" Movement for Freedom of Choice and Equal Rights FOR ALL, Women's Rights, the LGBTQIA+ Rights, Inclusion and Awareness, the EQUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT (ERA NOW), Global Equality, Racial Injustice, Immigration Rights, Environment and Climate Justice, Mental Health Awareness, Asthma and Allergy Health Awareness and Education, and the fight against Cancer, whom she lost her beloved mother, Diana, to on New Years Eve 2009.
In 2024, Amiee Co-Founded The Ripple Network with fellow activist filmmakers and artists, Rheagan Wallace and
Cameron J. Smith, bringing together independent filmmakers , artists and journalists in a lively coalition committed to creating activist and resistance projects that amplify the stories and voices that need to be told as well as documenting the historical times we are currently living in. Drawing from real stories of harmful conservative legislation and rhetoric, this group is making a significant mark in the industry and history. Their short film, " Subjugate ," based on the true horror stories coming out of Texas since the abortion bans have begun, is currently being featured in multiple film festivals and has won two prestigious awards for Best Short Film at the Los Angeles Film Festival and Best Women Empowerment Short Film at the International London Women's Film Festival thus far. The Ripple Network team has two other films in post-production and are writing their 4th activist project now.
If YOU have a story or idea that you want to creatively visit, please reach out! The Ripple Network is open to collaboration from global artists wanting to amplify the voices and stories that are trying to be silenced in today's world.
Art is Activism and Art is Resistance.
It always has been throughout history
and it will continue on today.
"As artists it is our civic DUTY to DISSENT to Injustices, to document the facts and reflect with our art the historical times we are living in."
