Appearing in the Oscar-nominated film Gone Girl, and nominated for a Maverick Movie Award for best-supporting actress for her role in the feature film Badsville, directed by April Mullen, Kate currently plays prosecutor Jamie Glenway in the fourth season of the CBS series In the Dark. Kate is also an award-winning filmmaker as well as an international vocalist and recording artist. She is the frontwoman for the LA-based bands, The Martini Kings and Pop Nouveau Jazz. Their past music clients include The Academy Awards, The Emmy Awards, HBO, Warner Bros, The Getty Center, Universal, and Disney. She has also sung with Robby Krieger of The Doors and Jeff Goldblum and his Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.
Kate has spent over a decade researching, interviewing and writing about the women pilots who served in WWII. Her first narrative short film, Boundless, about the Women Airforce Service Pilots, has been screened all over the world and has picked up 13 awards so far. The short includes 60 background performers, 40 crew members, 11 cast members and flying warplanes. The project is currently in writing development as a TV mini-series that is being co-produced by the Oscar-winning producer of The Kings Speech, Gareth Unwin and the former head of The Discovery Network in Canada, Ken MacDonald.
In 2021, Kate directed and produced two segments of the feature film documentary, Operation Lights Out, about the Canadian Relief Flights during the Nigerian Civil War in the late 1960s. She directed the reenactment night-flying scenes in a 1960s Super Constellation aircraft, and the creator’s on-camera narration.
The short film, People Watching, which Kate directed and acted in last Fall, began its festival tour in May at the French Riviera Film Festival which runs alongside Cannes. The film has since been accepted into three other international film festivals, so far, screening later this year.
Kate is in post-production with the short film she directed last month, called Mom - a brief, yet raw look into a woman's mind and heart, as she continues to balance the grief of her two miscarriages and the love of her two stepkids.
Kate is attached to direct the feature psychological thriller, Satisfaction, and the dramatic feature, Green Mountain State, which was in the final round of the Sundance Writers Lab in 2022. Kate is also set to co-direct a period piece feature film called Dear Fellow Traveler with Reeth Mazumder-Roberts.
Kate is also a student pilot member of the Ninety-Nines Women’s Flying Organization, a global organization of women pilots founded initially by Amelia Earhart in 1929.
