Over the past two years I have worked to establish a modern creative agency, Mor11, that is dedicated to creating genuine experiences across digital platforms. The development of this company has allowed me to combine my passion for detail and complex problem solving learned during my time spent as a Microbiologist with my never ending yearn to create through artistic endeavors. I base my work and life around the idea that strong logic and creativity can exist simultaneously. Disciplined logic allows me to identify and assess potential improvements while creativity is the means by which I can freely explore the possibilities. I wish to assist others through complex problem solving in creative ways and laugh a lot while doing it

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.

The mission is always to enrich the soul; leave better-off because of a story you were inspired by. We’re under a personal commitment to enthrall, engage and move the audience. We’re helplessly obligated to work harder than the other guy. We collaborate with you to tell your story that matches your goals, connects with your audience and keeps em’ wanting more. We’re a creative partner. There’s a lot of noise, a lot of fluff and too much that’s counterfeit. Let’s get real. We’re in it for the adventure, for the authenticity and the creative problem solving. We’re in it to work our tails off and try new things. We believe in change for the better good, coffee that tastes as it should and the little engine that could.

I am an experienced electronic cinematographer whose resume is heavily weighted with networks news magazine show and corporate credits. I see myself as a content creator for producers who are telling stories either with acute national/international impact or for employees and clients. Over my career I have travelled extensively and shot many high profile interviews with presidents and celebrities. However, what I remember most are the assignments that allowed me to photograph the stories of everyday people who found themselves in extraordinary circumstances such as Stephanie in Los Angeles who was learning to walk again after having both legs amputated above the knee after a tragic car accident.
