No Woman, No Cry: A Night With the Bedouin in Wadi Rum

Los Angeles' downtown has become a hot spot for locals over the past years, and is a new symbol of home to both Kate and Kat. From the filmmaker's perspective, any city scape is a joy and challenge to capture. From a presenter's perspective, who wouldn't jump at the chance to dangle from 30 stories in the air to get a better view?

Kate studied film production in college, and documentary film making in Dusseldorf, Germany. Since then, she wrote/directed/produced a short comedy film, created a web series and shot a music video for the band BIG WHUP. Kat is currently ProjectExplorer.org's lead presenter, and has hosted/produced series in Costa Rica, Belize, Mauritius, and Azerbaijan (Oct 2012).

Kate works at a production company, but it is her goal to direct, write, and produce her own work. Winning this scholarship would give her the opportunity to get out from behind a desk and get creative. For Kat, ProjectExplorer.org only provides very limited (twice a year) and specific experience (children's educational). Winning this scholarship would give her a chance to present from a new perspective. Both would benefit from more insight in the industry--and, as always, practice.
