“As a newbie TV writer, I could have been daunted by my first TV project – an 18-episode series. But with Katherine onboard, I experienced the complete opposite. She was a committed coach who deftly guided my co-writer and I in telling the story we wanted to tell; a tireless cheerleader who didn’t let us quit; and a fearless teammate who was open to throwing out the old playbook and trying something new. I never wanted to write for TV before (it looked pretty stressful), but after this super fun experience, I’m already dreaming of the next project. Thank you, K!”
“Drama Ratu Drama is my first series as the writer and the director. At first, my team and I were struggling to figure out what to do in the development room until our producer introduced us to Katherine. Her experience in developing series supported us a lot. Even though there were some inevitable cultural gaps between us, Katherine always listened to the approach we wanted to take and she gave us choices that would fit and made the story even better. Overall, working with Katherine was a very exciting experience and I can’t wait to develop more with her in the future!”
“Katherine has been one of the most essential key success factors for our show “K-Love.” Her creative instincts have been on point and her contributions to the show have been vital. Whatever success this show garners, so much of that could be attributed to Katherine.”
“Katherine was a great consultant for our shows in Indonesia. Our writing teams loved working with her.”
