Cath Le Couteur

Writer/Director Cath Le Couteur

Cath has just completed the Cinefondation Residency Programme in Paris, which is run by the Cannes Film Festival. The programme annually selects 6 writer/directors who spend 4 months in Paris developing their first or second feature film. Returning with a first draft for road movie Courier Cuts, Cath will re-open talks on finance/development opportunities after a further 3 months of independently financed script development. Previously Cath was on the Advanced Programme at the National Film and Television School where she wrote & directed the multi-award winning 35mm short Starched (with Kelly Reilly). In 2001, Cath worked as camera assistant for filmmaker Mike Figgis (Dir: Timecode, Hotel) and in 2002 won an LFVDA/Film Four Production Award to write/direct Spin which received its World Premiere in competition at the 2003 Berlin Film Festival, and which has also gone on to screen at Cannes, Tribecca, Oberhausen, Sydney and Edinburgh (upcoming). Cath was recently selected on the First Film Foundation Showcase and is currently in talks with several agents. Her previous shorts have been represented by the Short Film Bureau, the British Council, have been released theatrically, and on television worldwide. Cath is currently working on an innovative narrative-based music video for Active-M and is the co-founder of Shooting People (www.shootingpeople.org) - the UK’s independent filmmakers network.
