🎬 Welcome to KathitheFilmmaker – where storytelling meets satire, and filmmaking gets personal.
I’m a multi-award-winning filmmaker, and here you’ll find three unique series that reflect the heart, humor, and craft of creating for the screen:
🎥 Filmify-It – Long-form deep dives that function like a personal master class in filmmaking. I share the real tools, lessons, and insights I’ve learned over the years.
⚡️ Filmify-It Shorts – Quick-hit versions of the big stuff: bite-sized filmmaking wisdom pulled from the long-form videos, perfect for fast inspiration or a creative kickstart.
💥 Mom and Me – A sharply funny, satirical look at the adult mother/daughter dynamic, starring Mews Small (One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest). It’s raw, relatable, and just off-center enough to feel like therapy... or a warning.
Whether you’re a storyteller, an indie filmmaker, or just obsessed with the craft, this channel is for you. Subscribe, and let’s make something that matters.
