A Woman in the Director's Chair with Katt Shea

The Heart Of Show Business With Alexia Melocchi

Have you ever wondered what it's like to climb the ranks in Hollywood as a woman behind the camera? In my latest episode, I have an intimate conversation with the accomplished director Katt Shea, whose journey from actress to director is a testament to the power of female visionaries in show business. We delve into her transformation from bringing dark themes to life in films like "Poison Ivy" to her latest interest in heartwarming stories such as "Rescued by Ruby." Katt's experiences shed light on the unique challenges and triumphs of women in the director's chair, illustrating the diversity and resilience required to craft cinematic magic on modest budgets.
Picture this: an unexpected adventure in a strip club leads to a groundbreaking movie pitch and the birth of her directorial debut, "Strip to Kill." This episode peels back the curtain on the artistry found in the most unconventional places and how it can inspire unexpected storytelling opportunities. With anecdotes that range from persuasive plot twists to pets causing delightful mayhem, our discussion is a treasure trove of insights into the creative process and the importance of representing nuanced, authentic voices on screen.
Beyond the glitz and glamour, we explore the deeper connections that tie us all together. We share our journey towards a 'natural way of living' and how it's intertwined with our devotion to the arts and animal advocacy. We also touch on the emotional bonds we forge with our pets and the profound impact of love and attention on both human and animal lives. Wrapping up, we invite you to reflect on your own purpose and the ripples you create in the world as we strive to leave a lasting, positive mark through our creative endeavors. Join us on this soulful exploration that's more than just about making films—it's about the evolution of spirit and the stories that shape our lives.
