Testimonials
Catherine is quite simply the most devoted creative executive I've ever had the privilege of working with. Having collaborated with her as a screenwriter for almost two years, to say that her guidance completely reinvented my approach to writing and improved my output would be an understatement. Catherine brings a kind, nurturing dedication to all of her creative relationships, an inherent understanding of the importance of every aspect of storytelling, and an approach to notes that is unparalleled in its specificity and constructiveness. For a writer, Catherine is everything one could hope for in an executive and then some. It has been an absolute joy to form a creative kinship with her, and I look forward to continuing it for many years.
