Katherine Allen

Fascinated with those who are unapologetically bold, constantly dipping my toes in the pools of discomfort, I am a rebel at heart, a conjuror of stories that hide in our subconscious. I regurgitate nightmares and channel exquisite dreams in the same breath. I make films that will leave you sticky with alacrity. I am a writer/director at heart, a producer out of necessity, and get my hands dirty in nearly every other department as needed. I'm well versed in producing commercial VFX and animation, but my passion as a director lies in live-action storytelling with a touch of VFX/animation. My preferred genre is Magikal Surrealism, with a side of horror. I have one essential requirement for committing to a directing project: it has to have a soul. You might catch me lurking about during a dark moon, but most often I'm in my laboratory trying to make gold out of lead. My current attempt is a collection of 26 short films entitled "L’alphabête Noire." A meditation on archetypes that explore our shadow selves, it is the first cinematic “tarot deck” based on the alphabet.
