Caitlin Ferrell is a writer, director, and producer. Originally from Colorado, she grew up in the performing arts community, with a strong education in dance and an affection for theater. In 2015, Caitlin received her BA in theater from the UCLA Theater, Film, & Television department, where she studied musical theater, directing, and film. Currently, she is an MFA Screenwriting candidate in the Columbia University School of the Arts MFA Film program. Caitlin has written and directed six short films Water, Clean, Nora, Grace, Feed me, and Max & Taco (Get Their Sh!t Together). Apart from her personal work, Caitlin has worked on the documentary Joan Didion: The Center Will Not Hold and with Vice News, Michael Moore, Marianna Palka, and Oren Jacoby. 

She is greatly influenced by female playwrights and filmmakers who push the physical and psychological limits of their characters. In both her theatrical and her cinematic directing and writing, she is no stranger to crossing genres, moving from drama to hyperrealism, documentary to comedy, and beyond. Her complex characters often explore identity from the female point of view, reacting to the extreme yet often darkly humorous events that surround them. Caitlin is excited to continue learning and to expand her relationship with storytelling in many media.
