Dedicated, professional and super efficient, Kate is always positive with a contagious energy, especially under stressful circumstances. 
 

. Every production needs Kate on their team. 1899 was based in Berlin and Kate understood exactly what we were looking for. Dedicated, professional and super efficient, she is always positive with a contagious energy, especially under stressful circumstances. Her connections and contacts made our search for the right person completely seamless. I could wax lyrical about how easy Kate made everything but the truth is, she really cares. Looking out for Isabella, throughout casting and the long shoot all the way through to premiere and beyond. Always on the other end of the phone, understanding the business whilst making sure Isabella was happy and safe whilst shooting far from home, during Covid, a difficult time for everyone but especially a minor. Kate was an absolute dream to work with. I truly hope we get to play together again. Very highly recommended.
