Kate Ohlweiler is a writer and director based in Los Angeles, California. She is a San Diego native and Syracuse University VPA Film graduate.
Throughout her childhood, she primarily wrote short stories as a way to express herself creatively. It wasn’t until high school where she was accidentally placed in a film course did she advance her love of storytelling from writing to directing and creating films.
Now, she is a filmmaker focused on exploring both horror and romance as a means to understand her own fears about herself and the world through narratives surrounding deeply flawed female characters. In her films, Kate hopes to show the complicated and often terrifying interpersonal relationships that women have with themselves and with their community in the hopes of connecting people in an increasingly divided world.

She began her career onstage throughout the Pacific Northwest before transitioning into independent film, and now splits her time between Los Angeles and New York City.
McKensie is drawn to stories that explore identity, intimacy, and the contradictions of modern womanhood. She writes to make sense of what unsettles her, using storytelling to turn frustration into meaning and create work that is emotionally honest and unafraid of complexity.
