Show Notes
In this episode of Beyond the Awards, we sit down with Katharine from KAS Films, winner of Breakthrough Filmmaker of the Year at the British Wedding Film Festival. Kas shares her unexpected journey from high-pressure TV production to building a thriving wedding filmmaking business in just a few short years. With a documentary-led approach and a deep focus on authentic human moments, her work stands out for its warmth, honesty, and emotional storytelling. We dive into: - How she transitioned from TV into weddings (and why it wasn’t planned) - Developing a distinct creative voice early in her career - The balance between capturing real moments vs. creating “perfect” shots- Managing growth, expectations, and burnout in a fast-moving industry - Why storytelling, emotion, and instinct matter more than gear or trends
Plus, we kick things off with one of our favourite segments, Two Truths and a Lie, featuring drones, darts alter egos, and a very unfortunate bollard incident. If you’re a filmmaker looking to find your style, build a sustainable career, or simply tell honest stories, this one’s for you.
