Katie grew up in Indiana as the youngest child of her family with a
keen vivid imagination and humorous quirky personality. Movies and
books had always been a part of her life. She fell in love with
story-telling and their ability to transport someone into another
world.
Eventually, her path led her to college where she refined and polished her love for films. She attended Indiana University (as part of IUPUI) with a bachelor's degree in Media Arts & Sciences for video. Through encouragement from others, she ventured into specifically editing. Katie works as a freelance video editor with various clients. She also helps out on local films and in her spare time, works on making film magic with a small group known as Pants Cannon Media. You can most often find her in an 'edit cave' of sorts, usually with her film editor cohort and friend Kylee Wall working on a project.
She is of the mindset that age will never dictate who she is, where she goes, or what she can do. Random facts: a night owl by blood, avid gamer, lover of all things nerdy, coffee addict, and has an identical twin sister 4 minutes older. She loves to read books, including authors such as Neil Gaiman, the magnificent J.R.R. Tolkien, Roger Zelazny, among so many other authors. Anyone who knows her will confirm she adores the Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings with a passionate energy.
Other notable experiences: PA on local film Leah not Leia and PA/co-editor on Love Dance. Also, she edited a promotional video for DVD with Indy's Premiere Art & Music Exposition, known as Oranje. Katie actively participates in the 48 Hour Film Project in Indianapolis. In 2011, she was the team's editor on their dark comedy film, Support Group. In 2010, their 48 Hour film Cooper O'Brien and the Magical Mustache won Best Musical Score. The Cooper O'Brien short went on to win South Bend's 3Fest Best Film. Also, Katie interned at Nuvo Newsweekly, making videos of local live events such as music concerts, art fairs, roller derbies, award events, etc. She is an avid lover of cats, and has volunteered work on video content for Cat's Haven (a local no-kill cat shelter) For her capstone project upon graduation, she worked with her partner Aaron Whiteford on a short film adaptation of Roger Zelazny's book "Chronicles of Amber".
Through these projects, she has gained specific experience filming and editing videos for all sorts of purposes and various mediums. While she most of all enjoys video editing, she's also worn all the hats of making a video from start to finish throughout her various endeavors.
