about me.
Hello there! I’m Katherine Quinn, a New York based writer and filmmaker (among other things…)
My love of filmmaking began in a college cinema class, where I was fortunate enough to have an inspiring female professor who believed in my artistic voice. My mission is to offer a female perspective and uplift other female voices, in a medium that is often male-centered.
I have a penchant for crafting stories that highlight the nuance and complexity of relationships and identity. My style often centers around a very grounded script, that I present in a dreamy and surreal way through direction, scenic design, cinematography, and music.
I see filmmaking as the perfect cross-section of all of my deepest passions— writing, acting, art, and fashion. I love the collaborative nature of the medium, and the way it allows me to come into contact with such fascinating people with unique perspectives.
Ultimately, I do not seek to make art that changes lives, but rather allows people to recognize themselves— to look at an interaction onscreen and think to themselves, “Wow, is my personal experience more universal than I thought?”
significance of the ★ in my work.
★, which i’ve adopted as a symbol of myself, appears in almost all of my films. It is a reference to “The Star,” a powerful card in tarot, which signifies good things to come. to me, ★ represents my commitment to my art, and the healing ability of art to alchemize pain into something greater.
