Katherine Amy Propper (born April 22, 1993[1]) is an American film director and screenwriter.[2][3] She is known for her feature directorial debut film Lost Soulz (2023) and short films.[4][5][6]

Early life and education

[edit | edit source]

Propper was born and raised in Los Angeles, California.[7] Her mother is from Korea and her father, of European descent, is from New York.[2] On her father's side, she is a great-granddaughter of Eduardo Propper de Callejon, a Spanish diplomat and a Righteous Among the Nations, and a cousin of British actress Helena Bonham Carter.

Propper attended Georgetown University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in Art History.[8]

In 2016, she moved to Austin, Texas to attend the University of Texas at Austin where she received her MFA degree in Film directing.[3] She wrote and directed her student short film Street Flame. The film follows a group of friends in Austin's skate and graffiti scene as they commemorate the life of their dead friend.[9] Street Flame screened at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2019 and won several awards at film festivals.[10]

Career

[edit | edit source]

After completing her studies, she worked in Austin for American director Terrence Malick on the editing team of his long-gestating religious epic.[2][11] Propper moved to Texas inspired by the independent, free spirit of Austin-based filmmakers like Malick, Richard Linklater, Jeff Nichols, and Robert Rodriguez.[2][12]

The Austin Film Society supported her short film Birds, featuring intercut vignettes of Texas youths finding beauty on a summer day.[13] Birds won awards at Clermont-Ferrand in France and at South by Southwest in 2022, where it won Special Jury Recognition for Vision.[14] The New Yorker distributed Birds as part of its Screening Room series.[15] TheWrap selected Birds in its 2023 shortlist of the best short films.[11]

Propper's directorial feature-film debut Lost Soulz premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2023.[16] Lost Soulz is a coming-of-age movie about a young rapper whose dream comes true when he joins a music group on an odyssey headed West through Texas and instead finds himself on a spiritual journey home.[16] The film was released by distributor Kino Lorber in the U.S. and Canada in May 2024.[17]
