ABOUT

Katharine Lee McEwan is an award-winning British actress, writer, producer and voice artist.

Her films have been invited to over a hundred film festivals world-wide, including screenings in New York, Moscow, Sydney and Toronto. Katharine's feature film SOLITARY (Amazon & iTunes) which she wrote, produced and starred in, won seventeen festival awards and opened both the Chelsea Film Festival in New York, and the London Independent Film Festival, where it won Best UK Feature.

Katharine was born and raised in the north east of England and spent her early years being home-schooled by her parents and acting in local productions. Deciding to forgo university and seek overseas adventure instead, Katharine traveled through Europe, Asia, South Africa and Australia. It was on these journeys, inspired by the stories of the many unique people she encountered, that she decided to return to her love of storytelling. Arriving in Los Angeles with a renewed passion and an even greater desire to study her craft, she enrolled at the Lee Strasberg Theatre and Film Institute. Upon graduating, Katharine started working in theatre and independent film, but soon realized that creating her own material would give her the opportunity to play the strong, dynamic women she most identified with.

In addition to her on-camera work, Katharine is also an award-winning narrator, having lent her voice to numerous titles spanning genres such as fiction, fantasy and drama, and including works by New York Times best-selling authors Mauve Binchy and Sabaa Tahir. Writing credits include the WWII action movie HELL HATH NO FURY starring Nina Bergman and Daniel Bernhardt (Well Go USA Entertainment) and WHITE ELEPHANT (AMC+) starring Bruce Willis, John Malkovich and Olga Kurylenko. 

Katharine recently played the role of Mary Anne in the Mexican thriller PUEBLOS SANGRIENTOS directed by Sharon Alpuche and starring Sofía Espinosa. For producing projects, including her current slate, please visit Katharine’s production company ZETLAND MEDIA.
