Kaz PS is an award-winning filmmaker, writer, and video artist.
She has made six short films which have screened at festivals domestically and abroad, directed 10 music videos, including Silversound Showdown Prix Ultime winner "Gold," and been the grateful recipient of fellowships and grants from the likes of AFI, Cinereach, Eastman Kodak, Cinestory, and the Jerome Foundation.
She is an alumna of AFI's prestigious Directing Workshop for Women and won the Institute's Jean Picker Firstenberg Award for her 2010 DWW short "Megafauna", which starred Marin Ireland ("Glass Chin") and was shot by Reed Morano, ASC ("Handmaid's Tale"). Her 2017 short "ASH" starred Jason Butler Harner ("Ozark") and Dale Soules ("Orange is the New Black"). Her 2020 short acid western "The Halcyon" features an original score by musicians Greg Loman and Harry Waters, and premiered on short genre platform Dust on October 8, 2020.
As a writer, Kaz has developed and set up multiple projects, including a YA fantasy series with Atlas Entertainment and a feature-length horror at Intrepid Pictures. In addition, she wrote a serial-killer thriller based on a true story which has Nick Moceri ("A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night") attached to produce. She currently has multiple series live on innovative chat story platform Zedge's Shortz app, with more in the pipeline.
As a video designer she has presented work in France (Theatre de Chaillot, Paris; Les Subsistances, Lyon; Le Quartz, Brest), Poland, Denmark, Russia, Australia, the UAE, and across the US (American Repertory Theater, Cambridge MA; Bumbershoot, Seattle, WA) and was the video artist in residence with internationally acclaimed, NYC-based dance theater company, Witness Relocation, for almost a decade. Her video design work has been called "hallucinatory" by the New York Times, and described as "audio-visual anarchy" by New York Magazine.
Kaz graduated Cum Laude from Princeton University with a BA in English and a Certificate in Creative Writing. She was born in England, grew up in the Pacific Northwest, spent many strange years in Brooklyn, and now calls Los Angeles home.
