About

Bringing creativity to life — for thirty years and counting.

Cirina Catania directing on set

Cirina Catania is a filmmaker, writer, journalist, and educator who has spent three decades inside the worlds of film, television, and post-production — at the studio level, on independent sets, and at the front of the classroom.

Her career has spanned production and post, marketing and distribution, festivals and faculty appointments — work that's given her a rare 360° view of how creative projects actually get made, and how they survive contact with the industry.

Today she speaks and consults internationally on the same theme she's chased her entire career: bringing creativity to life— in classrooms, in studios, and in the next generation of storytellers.
