Experienced photographer, videographer, and overall media enthusiast. Enjoying life on the road as my fiance and I travel across the country, documenting America's unsung Heroes for our Quality Thrives web series. My career in media started in the fields of design/marketing, which I still use as my primary source of income (freelancer). I gained experience in photography during my years of college, which led to exciting opportunities such as shooting two seasons of New York Fashion Week as well as other business-related events. While I love being behind the camera, my true passion lies within finding the deep, unusual stories that wouldn't typically be covered by the main-stream media. I firmly believe that the average, everyday-individuals that we're surrounded by are the ones who have the compelling stories to tell - and it's my goal to document as many as possible.

Katherine Filaseta is an emerging filmmaker originally from South Carolina. While at Washington University in St. Louis, Katherine acted in a few student films and researched tropes of globalization in Bollywood. After graduating with a degree in International Studies, Katherine limited her involvement in film to reviewing films on her feminist blog ("Complaining About Things I Like") and podcast ("Filmi Talks"), while studying Hindi in India and teaching children performing arts. Realizing that teaching was not her true passion, she decided to enroll in a short filmmaking course at the New York Film Academy. Katherine hopes to add to her current portfolio by showcasing her ability to use the overlap of fiction, music, and visuals to tell stories with a true purpose.
