Katherine Hughes is an actor, writer, and director from New York, now based in Los Angeles. She has spent the past decade working on film and television sets as an actress while learning from the filmmakers she’s worked alongside. Her first short film, Yellow Belt Fury, led to many opportunities, including financing for future projects, writing work with major studios, and a development deal for her first feature. In 2024, she graduated from UCLA with a degree in gender and film.
