Bio: Kat has worked in the Seattle film market since 2007 as a 1st, 2nd, and 2nd 2nd Assistant Director for film, television, industrials, reality shows, and music videos. Kat’s position supports the vision of the Producers and Director while maintaining consideration of the health, safety and needs of the cast and crew. Kat has worked in other markets (London, New York, Austin, and Los Angeles) and from those experiences understands Seattle’s film industry and community are unique.
