About Us

CAITLIN GRAHAM
Co-Founder

Caitlin Graham is a writer, actor, and critic originally from Brooklyn. During her years at Wellesley College, she performed in over twenty shows and directed full-scale productions of Tape and Breath, Boom. After graduating with a double-major in Cinema & Media Studies and Spanish, she went on to pursue an M.F.A. in Film Studies at Boston University. Her graduate coursework mostly focused on the place of women in film history and the impact of recent technology on spectatorship. This culminated in a written thesis entitled, "Marilyn Monroe, Cinematic Time, and the Digital Age," in which Caitlin does a cross-section of the star's film work, publicity photos, and personal life in order to theorize about how star images are formed today.

Over the past few years, Caitlin has continued to perform on stage and has appeared in several independent films in New York and Boston, most recently as the lead in Kamil Tkacz's Reasoned. Favorite roles include Marisol (Marisol), The Laramie Project (Reggie Fluty, Cathy Connolly, & others), Fifth of July (Gwen), Brighton Beach Memoirs (Kate), Travels with My Aunt (Actor V), God's Favorite (Rose), and Electra (Orestes).

Caitlin is an avid writer, and is currently workshopping a feature-length screenplay. She continues to write film articles for various publications, most regularly The Feminist Review. Caitlin hopes to eventually earn her Ph.D. and become a film professor, and of course, be the female Kevin Smith.

THE STORY

Two girls are sitting next to each other in film class.
"Hey, we're both working on the same play!"
"Cool, want to be partners?"
And they proceed to make two cracked out shorts.

The next semester starts.
Two girls are sitting next to each other in a different film class.
"Hey, it's you again."
"Dude, we have to partner up again."
And they do.

One girl graduates.
One year later, the second girl graduates.
"Dude, we should make a film!"
"Yeah, let's do it!"

Fast forward a couple of years.
"We need to do something that's more immediately gratifying."
"Let's get a group of writers together and produce the pieces we workshop."

To be continued...
