Biography

Kathi Carey is an award-winning Writer/Director of films and web series that have screened in festivals worldwide, from Academy-qualifying LA Shorts, USA Dallas and Rhode Island to Italy, Portugal, Cancun, China, S. Korea and Toronto. Though her films have won, cumulatively, over 50 awards and honors, it is not award-recognition that drives her. Kathi strives to connect her audiences with the personal, sometimes solitary journey of her protagonists. Her projects focus on interpersonal relationships and deep character introspection. Because her characters face moral and ethical dilemmas, audiences want to discuss the film's various themes and turning points, and ponder things they may not normally consider in their day-to-day life. If you were to define her "voice" as a filmmaker it is to share stories that are so personal that audiences feel they are not alone... they feel seen. Away from the camera, Kathi gives back by mentoring and advocating for more inclusion through her work with the Alliance of Women Directors and the Streets, Art, Safe Program (mentoring HS students to create safe driving PSAs).
