Katie has always been known for her creative endeavors, spending much of her childhood performing plays for family members and writing songs that always rhymed, but never made sense. It wasn’t until the ripe age of twelve that she first picked up her uncle’s VHS camera and shot her first short film with her cousins and sister. The movie was so bad, the tape was immediately erased and the movie was never seen. Undeterred, Katie continued to make movies until finally one day someone decided to pay her. Katie was born and raised in Florida and is currently living in Asheville, North Carolina. She’s been awarded various accolades at film festivals. She’s also won five Southeast Regional Emmy Awards including writing and directing. She does commercial production as well as independent film work. This is her first feature film.
