Kathryn is a writer, academic and independent filmmaker. Psychology, mental health, popular fallacies and the afterlife of images are recurring themes in Kathryn’s body of work which spans award-winning feature dramas, documentaries and hybrids. 'Shock Room' (2015) Kathryn's forthcoming feature documentary re-stages and reinterprets Stanley Milgram's dramatic 'Obedience' to Authority' experiments. It was made via an ARC Discovery project. Kathryn's films have been selected for dozens of major festivals including Chicago, Sao Paulo, Mill Valley, Pordenone, Kolkata, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, screened at Brooklyn Art Museum and on the Sundance Channel. In 2014, Palgrave published Kathryn's monograph 'Screenwriting in a Digital Era'.
