Kristin Macari

Co-Founder | Producer

Kristin Macari grew up surrounded by entrepreneurs long before being an entrepreneur was considered trendy. Coming from a family of innovators and self-starters, she always knew she wanted to run her own business… she just didn’t know what kind.

With a background in marketing, Kristin began her career as the Director of Marketing for a national homebuilder, overseeing multi-million-dollar marketing budgets and leading high-impact campaigns across Florida. That experience gave her a deep understanding of what drives business growth — a skill she now brings to every production at Studio Nine 13.

In 2015, Kristin and her husband, Quinton, combined their expertise in marketing and media to launch Studio Nine 13. Together, they’ve built the company into a leading full-service video production studio based in Lake Nona, Orlando, producing national campaigns and cinematic storytelling for brands and audiences alike.

Over the years, Kristin has produced video content for iconic brands such as Coca-Cola, U.S. Bank, Yelp, Chick-fil-A, and Palo Alto Networks. Most recently, she helped lead Studio Nine 13’s nationwide Small Business, Big Ambition campaign for U.S. Bank — a coast-to-coast production celebrating the stories of small business owners across the country (from L.A. to The Twin Cities) through powerful, people-centered storytelling featured across billboards, iHeartRadio, news outlets, and digital platforms.

Kristin also brings her producing expertise to the world of film. She and Quinton produced the critically acclaimed feature A Time for Every Purpose, available now on Amazon, and recently completed post-production on The Heart Brake, starring Beverly D’Angelo.

Driven by creativity, collaboration, and a true passion for storytelling, Kristin’s favorite part of her work is helping brands and filmmakers bring their visions to life — transforming big ideas into meaningful content that connects, inspires, and endures.

Kristin is a true crime junkie. As a die-hard murderino (if ya know, ya know), she often listens to crime podcasts while she edits and falls asleep to Forensic Files (nothing like a few murder stories to relax the mind).

Kristin and Quinton named their business after several momentous dates… Kristin’s birthday (June 13th), Quinton’s birthday (March 13th), and their wedding anniversary (September 13th). You could say 13 is their number.
