ABOUT
Caitlin is a storyteller whose character-driven narratives explore moral contradictions, interrogate entrenched systems and beliefs, and uncover the masks we wear to survive. Her work thrives in the tension between control and surrender—as does she.
She gravitates toward protagonists who wrestle with personal responsibility in the face of overwhelming forces—whether in an experimental prison, a patriarchal 1930s Hollywood, a corporate psychedelic research lab, or a eugenics conspiracy in a small town.
Her screenplays have earned recognition from the Academy Nicholl Fellowship, Austin Film Festival, CineStory, PAGE Awards, and more. She was named one of Austin Film Festival’s “25 Screenwriters to Watch” and made her directorial debut with the award-winning dark comedy short Wicked Image.
She lives in New Jersey with her two sons and a yard full of wild things. Her creative energies are currently focused on developing Dr. Silence and co-launching a podcast with her twin sister exploring consciousness, mythology, and the messy process of becoming.
