Kate is the 1st AD for In Her Steps watching footage back while on-set!
Bachelor of Screen Arts
I took on the roles of Producer, Co-Writer, Co-Producer and 1st Assistant Director across three short films; ‘In Her Steps’, ‘Got The Spirit’, and ‘Facade’. Taking on so many HOD roles allowed me to further harness my skills for time-management, leadership, and as a creative collaborator. I really enjoyed working with so many other creatives, developing effective techniques for planning and running shoots, and successfully executing several fundraiser events.
'In Her Steps' conveys a relationship where both parties grow with each other, but one that isn't overly saturated on-screen. Our story strives to be authentic, personal, and able to connect with everyone. This isn't just about mothers and daughters, it's everyone who has a meaningful relationship in their life that encourages growth. We want to highlight the simple things that are often overlooked.
When amateur DJ Dan dies unexpectedly, his girlfriend Paris is secretly relieved she never had to break up with him. Unfortunately, Dan returns as a ghost — believing his unfinished business is to fix their relationship, the last thing Paris needs. Got the Spirit is a dramedy about conflict avoidance, embarrassing boyfriends, and how romance in your 20s collides with identity. Sometimes, an exorcism feels easier than talking about your feelings…
Facade follows two young adults living with chronic pain (fibromyalgia and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) as they discuss a first date and a new job over a picnic lunch. Although they live with difficult health conditions, these girls choose humour as a way to cope with life and support each other. We jump back and forth, from the present time at the picnic, to flashbacks, as the girls discuss their lives.
