- Katharine Lee McEwan is an award-winning British actress, writer and producer. Her films have been screened at over a hundred film festivals world-wide, including New York, Moscow, Sydney and Toronto. Katharine wrote, produced and starred in the critically acclaimed British drama "Solitary" (Electric Entertainment) which was the recipient of seventeen festival awards and the opening night film of both the Chelsea Film Festival and the London Independent Film Festival, where it won Best UK Feature.
Katharine recently played the role of Mary Anne opposite Sofía Espinosa in the Mexican thriller "Pueblos Sangrientos" directed by Sharon Alpuche. Recent writing credits include "Hell Hath No Fury" starring Nina Bergman and Daniel Bernhardt (Well Go USA Entertainment) and "White Elephant" (AMC+) starring Bruce Willis, John Malkovich and Olga Kurylenko.
Katharine founded Zetland Media, a production company committed to championing stories that need telling, when conventional wisdom deems them too risky. The company gets its name from The Zetland - the world's oldest surviving lifeboat permanently stationed in Katharine's hometown of Redcar, North East England. Previous films include "Swim" directed by Mari Walker (Best Narrative Short, Los Angeles Film Festival) and "Shoshannah's Skateboard" (Hearts, Minds, Souls Award, Rhode Island Film Festival).
When she’s not devouring historical fiction or winning at Texas Hold ‘Em, you can find her traveling the world - from the Yucatan jungles to South Africa’s Wild Coast. Her mission is to create work that softens hearts & opens minds.
