Raised in the small white trash suburb of Malden, Ma. of Feta-Mozarella decent. Catino got an early start with clay, lego and silly putty animation on a VHS video camera borrowed from his father's boss. After the camera was taken back by his father's boss, so his son could start his white rap group and make horrible videos, Catino suffered from a creative lull. He attended Catholic school for 13 years, which in the long run left him extremely cynical about religion in general. Studying the arts of stage crew, lighting and sound in his high school theatre program, Catino rekindled his love affair with performance and technical arts. With his school unable to provide him with a creative outlet in film or video, Catino got a video camera and wasted most of his time making bad videos and taping stupid stuff like drinking and getting high. It was anything but his creative highpoint. After a recomendation by his half-baked Guidance Counselor, Catino went to Suffolk University to study film. As a student at Suffolk University, Catino realized that there were no more than 5 film classes and that his high school Guidance Counselor was of no help. He wasted a year and a half at that institution, met some great friends, and decided to take some time off. After a 3 month stint at Fleet Bank Check Fraud Department, Catino, with friend Adam Krauss, decided to travel the great nation for 3 months. During that period, he tranferred into Emerson College and began his film career pursuit. Now, after two and a half years at Emerson, Catino resides in the great state of Claifornia. He also boasts a semi somewhat redeemable resume, but would never say that in public.
