With 20 years of film experience, Katherine is now concentrating on the role of Data Manager. Organised and social, Kat loves being part of the camera department’s technical action.  

Kat is hyper-vigilant and takes the responsibility of Managing the Data seriously.  She is adept at assisting the DIT, DOP other members of the camera team while liaising with production and post-production to ensure a smooth transition of data.

In her 18 years at Scarab, Kat acquired an all-round knowledge of film making, including the day-to-day running of a business, taking care of every detail to ensure a creative environment on-set, technical expertise, client relations and set experience.

In 2020 Kat returned to London permanently and joined the Orchard family, first as their Bookings Manager and now as an on-set Data Manager.
