https://www.instagram.com/acvouvray/ Catherine grew up gay in God’s country. She feared for her life at home with mentally ill parents and  out in the rural world of rednecks, where members of the LGBTQ+ and  BIPOC communities were killed for sport. She watched, trembling at six,  as hooded members of the KKK burned a giant cross. She heard about the  boy who was killed for giving a blow job. It’s no wonder that themes of  repression of women and minorities are omnipresent in her work. A  creative always on the fringes of mainstream society, her mission now is  to champion inclusivity. Catherine wants to add to queer cinema,  especially empowering lesbians, and invent a renaissance of interest in  our elders. She wants to place older women at the epicenter of story.  She wants to tell the stories of the overlooked and marginalized and  give a bullhorn to those who aren’t often given a voice. Catherine has  written numerous award-winning screenplays for features and TV, becoming  a fellow of the Middlebury Script Lab, attending the Stowe Narrative  Lab on a partial scholarship, and attending both the feature retreat and  TV lab at CineStory. She has directed four short films so far and will  be shooting her feature directorial debut this summer.
