Director/ Producer: Kathy Kasic

Kathy Kasic is a filmmaker/principal of Metamorph Films and an Associate Professor of Film at California State University Sacramento. Many moons ago, she traded evolutionary biology in the Ecuadorian Amazon for filmmaking. Using a sensorial emphasis on place to unveil the human relationship with the natural world, her 100+ productions have appeared at international festivals, on television (BBC, Discovery, Smithsonian, PBS, National Geographic), and won numerous awards. Most recently, Kasic field directed for BBC’s Earth Shot: Repairing Our Planet (feat. David Attenborough and Prince William) and directed The Lake at the Bottom of the World, a sensory vérité feature film about an international team of scientists exploring a subglacial lake 3,600 feet beneath the West Antarctic Ice Sheet. Her most recent film, The Memory of Darkness, Light, and Ice, tells the story of how a long-lost sediment core from a clandestine military base reveals crucial clues about the disappearance of the Greenland Ice Sheet and global sea level rise.
