Currently studying a double honours degree in Film and Theatre at Lancaster University, prior to this Katie worked for The Walt Disney Company as a character and parade performer at Disneyland Paris. Katie has decided to move from performing to being behind the camera, and has directed and edited many short theatre performances and mini film projects whilst studying her degree. She also is a freelance photographer and videographer in her free time, and has assisted in the running of the social media videos and content of several businesses already. She also enjoys making and experimenting with her own short film projects and expanding her knowledge of different film techniques. Katie is also a Comedy and Drama teacher at the Pauline Quirke Academy, and has already directed and produced a couple of showcases and mini films with the talented students, 2 of which are to feature in Amour de Soi.
With Amour de Soi, we created a film that resonates with a large number of young adults trying to find themselves in the world of adulthood. Our character Lucy has found that her childhood romance with Alex just doesn’t work in the world of adult life, and in a series of flashbacks we see how young, happy and free they were. This story follows Lucy as she learns to fall in love with the freedoms of life, and herself, once again. We see her eventually beginning to move on from that childhood relationship and focusing solely on herself, can beginning to love her self for her own individual well-being, much like the meaning of amour de soi.
