Catherine grew up gay in God’s country. She feared for her life at home with mentally ill parents and out in the rural world of rednecks, where members of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities were killed for sport. She watched, trembling at six, as hooded members of the KKK burned a giant cross. She heard about the boy who was killed for giving a blow job. It’s no wonder that themes of repression of women and minorities are omnipresent in her work. A creative always on the fringes of mainstream society, her mission now is to champion inclusivity. Catherine wants to add to queer cinema, especially empowering lesbians, and invent a renaissance of interest in our elders. She wants to place older women at the epicenter of story. She wants to tell the stories of the overlooked and marginalized and give a bullhorn to those who aren’t often given a voice. Catherine has written numerous award-winning screenplays for features and TV, becoming a fellow of the Middlebury Script Lab, attending the Stowe Narrative Lab on a partial scholarship, and attending both the feature retreat and TV lab at CineStory. She has directed four short films so far and will be shooting her feature directorial debut this summer.
