Kat’s love for storytelling began on stage. Her path to becoming an emerging filmmaker has been supported by friends and mentors in the Vancouver indie film community and programs such as the GEMS Emerging TV Producers 2023 Cohort, The IPF development Fund and The VIFF Catalyst 2024 cohort and the 2025 Women In The Director’s Chair CAM cohort. Her film called ‘A Day In The (After) Life of Diane Staples’ has gone on to win Best Igniter Film at The Canadian Film Festival, Best International Film at its US premiere at the Broad Humour Film Festival in LA and the Warner Brothers Discovery Access Filmmaker award at YIFF.
