As a multi-faceted storyteller, Amos Mac has worked across editorial, print, online media, film, television, documentary, and narrative spaces, notably for HBO Max's "Gossip Girl,” VICELAND's "Gaycation,” Amazon's "Transparent,” and the forthcoming “Clean Slate.” Mac co-wrote the feature documentary "No Ordinary Man" with Aisling Chin-Yee, focusing on jazz musician Billy Tipton, a complicated transgender icon who earned his place in history posthumously.
As a founder and editor of "Original Plumbing," Amos Mac made a profound impact on print media and trans visibility from 2009-2019. The culmination of this decade-long project resulted in the book “Original Plumbing: The Best of Ten Years of Trans Male Culture” (2019), co-edited with Rocco Kayiatos and published by The Feminist Press. Mac’s art zine “Translady Fanzine” initiated a collaboration with Zackary Drucker, using text and photography as the medium. Both Mac publications have garnered international attention and exhibitions, most notably at Centre Pompidou in Paris, Brooklyn Museum, and Geffen Contemporary at MoCA.
Mac’s contributions to “Trans Hirstory in 99 Objects” (2023) touch on the significance of objects as art, exploring figures like pro skateboarder Leo Baker and musician Billy Tipton. Mac's reflections on gender diversity in fashion, as showcased in “The Candy Book of Transversal Creativity: The Best of Candy Magazine, Allegedly” (2020), offer nuanced perspectives on intersections of identity and style. As a contributor and guest editor for online publications, Mac has championed marginalized voices by curating special editions to amplify trans perspectives and foster inclusive dialogue.
