Kate Alden is currently an (unintentionally) nomadic filmmaker who has lived and worked across the US, with concentrated stints in Los Angeles, Seattle, New York, and Boston. She graduated from Chapman University (after transferring from Emerson College) with a degree in Theater Performance and a minor in Film Production.

Kate’s creative spark (and deadpan wit) is shaped from her lived experiences as the kid of divorced creatives (a visual artist/designer and an acoustical engineer/musician) and forging an identity and perseverance out of childhood adversity.

Kate started in this industry as an actor, appearing on a multitude of features, commercials and television shows, including ‘Twin Peaks,’ ‘Sorry for your Loss,’ and ‘The Librarians.’ About 10 years ago, she began concentrating on production and dove headfirst into the entire process. She has worked primarily as a 1^st Assistant Director for the past 6 years, helming movies for Paramount, Vertical Entertainment, Buffalo 8, and Blumhouse, and working with the talents of Ashley Judd, Keith Carradine, Eiza Gonzalez, Rosanna Arquette, Steve Coulter, Barbara Rosenblat, and many others. She helped develop and was the creative producer on the 2018 short ‘Relationship Deli’ which amassed over 10 million views and was featured on Funny or Die and in the New York Times. Since reviving her focus on directing (with a slight ambition jump from the plays and films she directed with her friends as a teenager), she has created several music videos (for indie darlings Therese Curatolo and Alyssa Suede), a handful of dark comedy shorts and is in development on two features and a documentary based on true stories.
