I grew up in Los Angeles and I worked my ass off to get into college where my worldview was expanded by people and opportunities. I studied drawing and painting, learned to surf, speak French, fail psychology, travel alone, confront death, and survive a sorority; but most importantly, I learned how to love documentary film.

 Documentary took me to graduate school where I relished film’s ability to capture time and the human condition. I really fell in love with storytelling. With voice and tone. 

I love feel good sports stories, mysteries, crime, female driven narratives and dark family dramas where everything looks perfect until you dig beneath the surface. There’s a challenge in writing something that feels authentic yet remains compelling, or organizing footage in a way that makes the viewer lean in or laugh.

I produce documentaries and write for television. Please email thisiskatiepyne@gmail.com for more information and inquiries.
