Hi! I'm Kate! I'm a filmmaker, author, and public speaker.

My screenplays and upcoming novels contain mythic themes of strength, personal power and identity.

I do have two light non-fiction list books out called "The Celebration Diet" and "The Belief Test."

I've worked on a couple dozen indie films, a few of which have gone on to win some cool awards. I even run my own production company, Karmic Courage Productions.

I teach filmmaking and writing workshops at festivals, libraries and schools.

I hope you find what you are looking for on this blog, if not message me, I'm always looking to help out writers and filmmakers.
