For 40 years, Cathy has been making films that explore consciousness and encourage progressive change. While in college in the early 70s she joined the Santa Cruz Women’s Media Collective. They produced a series of cable TV programs by and about women’s issues. Cathy was one of the first women in North America to be a camera assistant and documentary cinematographer.
Cathy subsequently directed and produced a short, humorous, personal film called Lost Love (1982). In 1986, she produced a 90-minute documentary about the Great Peace March for Global Nuclear Disarmament, a nine-month cross-country journey of roughly 500 dedicated souls. The film, Just One Step: The Great Peace March, led to her making a film of the first Soviet-American Peace March, marriage to the talented cameraman Edis Jurcys, and raising a family together. Along the way, she became a cranio-sacral biodynamic healer.
In the early 2000s, Cathy co-created Holy Rascals, a project that generated short videos about the perennial wisdom of spiritual elders and the cutting-edge teachings of emerging paradigms of independent spirituality (transcending theology and religion).
Cathy’s most recent project, Living While Dying, sheds light on end of life. Through experiences with a deathwalker, friends and her mother, they share their opinions on living knowing death will come to us all, but knowing that we are living while dying.
