Katie is currently based in Melbourne, while she undertakes a graduate diploma at the School of Film & TV at the Victorian College of the Arts.

She has directed 7 short films, her latest two in post-production, a fictional short "The Silence Between Us" starring the amazingly talented Joanna Hunt-Prokhovnik and a short documentary "Valley of the Lost Children", the result of a monumental trip to Nepal.

Katie began directing at a precocious age thanks to an overabundant imagination and an innate ability to boss around her peers. Her public debut was a theatre production of “The Effect of Gamma Rays on Man-in-the-Moon Marigolds” in 1995.

Katie studied film theory at the University of New South Wales, and after a coffee-drenched sabbatical in Paris, she graduated with honours in Film and French. Her thesis examined depictions of violent sexuality by female filmmakers in contemporary French cinema.

She is currently working on short number eight, a gothic urban fairytale due to be shot in September.

As a director, Katie describes herself as a “people-watcher, story-teller and a dreamer” (a dangerous combination)! She focuses on bringing rich characters, fantastical images and intense stories to the screen.
