Katherine Griffin is a Nicholl Screenwriting Fellowship Semi-Finalist (2012) and Emmy Award winning editor-writer-director from Bloomington, Indiana whose spirited adventure making her first indie feature The Innocents was profiled in the Los Angeles Times. The Innocents was subsequently listed as one of the twenty best dramas in Phil Hall's 'Encyclopedia of Underground Movies: Films from the Fringes of Cinema'. In a review for FilmThreat Magazine, Hall stated: "Griffin has a remarkable style, with intelligent dialogue that flavors a subtle direction."
Katherine has always had a passion for acting, writing and directing. She attended the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, and studied film in the Bay Area, then entered the Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts in Santa Maria to continue her education in acting and directing. It was there that she began to write screenplays.
Since then, she has been a finalist in the Sundance Screenwriter's Lab, received the first ever Christy Fellowship from PCPA, worked as an editor for every major network on television, is a Nicholl Semi-Finalist, Emmy Award Winner and is currently assembling her second feature film, Butterflies and Lightning, with producers Michel Shane (I Robot, Catch Me if You Can), Sarah Finn (Crash) and Jon Bachmann (The Innocents).
