Kate is an award-winning filmmaker based in West Yorkshire. Her new BFI-backed film Winter Song is currently on its festival run, and has already taken home a handful of awards, including Best Short Film at Seville Short Film Festival.   

She is interested in women at work and at home, female coming-of-age stories, and domestic alienation and rage in motherhood. In her work, she wants to create poetic, cinematic films that defy stereotypical portrayals of female characters.

Kate cut her teeth making DIY art films, which were selected for Academy Award & BAFTA qualifying festivals internationally. Her first BFI-funded short, Scrum, played in competition and won awards at festivals nationwide. Her most recent art film, Little Grasses Crack Through Stone, was a finalist for the Aesthetica Art Prize and screened in York Art Gallery throughout 2022.

She also has nearly a decade's experience as an Assistant Director (AD) for film and TV.
