FILMMAKER, ACTOR & EDITOR based in NYC
Katarina is a filmmaker, actor and editor based in NYC. She graduated from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in 2018 with a BFA in acting. She spent her primary years focused on acting training before pivoting to academic semesters to further explore her interests in film and creative writing. After graduating, she fostered these interests by writing, directing and editing her own short films. Most recently, she was selected as an inaugural fellow for the Women in Film Shorts Lab supported by Google. Currently, she works as a freelance video editor with a background in beauty with clients spanning from Glossier to Pat McGrath.
As a filmmaker, her work is mainly concerned with loss, love and the haunting that is inevitably borne of both experiences. As a second generation Chinese-American, she is always looking at these themes through the lens of someone whose identity and belief system are rooted in two, often conflicting, cultures.
