MEET KATHERINE

Katherine is an actor and producer whose recent film Grafton was an official selection at 20 film festivals (9 Wins, 6 Nominations) including Dances with Films, Chelsea, and Soho. For Grafton, Katherine received a Breakthrough Female Performance nomination at Festival of Cinema NYC for her portrayal of a disturbed traveler who reluctantly assumes the identity of a wealthy wife.

She started studying ballet at the age of 3, eventually going on to debut at the Guggenheim Museum dancing for Shen Wei Dance Arts (choreographer of the Beijing Olympic Games Opening Ceremony).

A London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art grad, Katherine also classically trained in Shakespeare at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and received a B.A. in Political Science and Dance from Marlboro College.

She is known for her recurring role as a volatile choreographer in the darkly comedic TV series The Hunter streaming on docsnow+ and as the lead in Amazon Prime's thriller Overload (LA Movie Best Actress Award).

Katherine's first foray into producing was on the feature film Northern Borders starring Academy Award nominee and legend Bruce Dern. Since then she's produced 50 (and counting!) theater, dance, film, and music productions.

She is the co-founder of Weatherhead Hollow, a wedding venue and creative residency space on a 1792 farmstead in Vermont. She presses her own cider, loves to ride horses, and trains in ground acrobatics and trampoline. For current news, follow her on Instagram.
