about hitch
Hi there, my name is Kathryn Hitchan, better known to friends and coworkers as Hitch, and I am first and foremost a girl who was inspired by a camera as a Christmas gift at the age of 14 which is where an already budding passion grew into so much more. This gift led to making short films in high school, realizing that I wanted to go to a university where I could continue to pursue this passion and ultimately to my career.
I graduated from Point Park University in 2016 with a degree in Cinema Production, I received a few awards while at PPU such as the Cinema Arts “Outstanding Achievement in Directing” Award. Since beginning my career I’ve worked as a cinematographer, editor, director, production designer, camera operator, assistant camera, assistant editor, DIT, set dresser, grip, electric, production assistant and miscellaneous other positions. I’ve worked with Netflix, Snapchat, HBO, Showtime, AEO/Aerie, College Humor and many other companies in many formats of film. I also have worked alongside Fly Over Properties as their editor of walk through real estate videos. I’ve also made my own narrative films, documentaries, promos and music videos. Take a look through my site to see what I’ve been up to in the last few years! Available on request: resumes for camera, art, and editing work. ||
