Author: Catherine Stewart

Catherine, a native of Scotland, is an experienced writer and director for both stage and screen as well as working as a facilitator; teaching areas including dramaturgy, devising, adaptation and acting for stage and screen. She graduated from the prestigious Bretton Hall College in 2008 with a B.A.(Hons) in Theatre and Performance, and as a recipient of the White Rose Scholarship for Enterprise. With her directorial roots in theatre she approaches film not as a set of shots and segments but as a whole piece; working in collaboration as the camera rolls with her colleagues in front of and behind the lense. In both her writing and directing she uses her experience of both fictional and factual film making to create works that tread the thin line between both disciplines. And with a tendency towards magical realism, fantasy and a certain penchant for sci-fi she always seeks to capture the thaumaturgy of real life (reality) in her work.
