Katie is a Director / Producer / Cinematographer from London. After co-producing a handful of short social justice focused films in the UK, Katie was commissioned to travel to Mississippi and Louisiana to film some interviews solo. Learning how to direct, produce and shoot in the field she fell in love with the American South and eventually moved stateside to co-direct her first feature with Carlye Rubin. They set up Smoke & Apple Films and their directorial debut ‘The (Dead Mothers) Club’ was acquired and broadcast on HBO in 2014. Now with over 12 years of directing and producing independent documentaries from conception to completion together, they have co-directed and produced ‘The Family I Had’ and ‘1275 Days’, and continue to collaborate on future work.
