About

Catherine Rose is a freelance self-shooting producer/director with experience of working with production companies large and small, busy newsrooms and International NGOs. Having worked on commercial productions and adverts, documentaries, news packages, charity films and 360 film/Virtual Reality, Catherine has a range of experience to call upon. Catherine is adept at working solo, as well as setting up and running large crews and teams on productions. She loves to use film as a creative tool to engage, inspire and motivate audiences to act. Working as a self-shooting producer and director for WaterAid’s in-house production unit for 5 years, she ended up managing and running the team of producers, freelancers and assistants. Whilst at WaterAid, Catherine directed award-winning short documentary ‘Across the Tracks,’ which explores how good sanitation can help keep women safe from violence in India. She also directed the interactive film, ‘Parallel lives’, which contrasts experiences of midwives in Tanzania and the UK; and realised WaterAid’s first 360/VR project ‘Aftershock’ from initial concept and pitch, through to directing, producing and distributing. The film has been recognised as one of the first successful uses of the immersive medium by an NGO and Catherine has toured the film at a number of festivals and screenings, sharing the impact of the project and lessons learnt. Aftershock transports the viewer to Nepal where a community looks to rebuild their lives after the devastating 2015 earthquakes. Catherine also helped launch investigative NGO Global Witness’s multimedia function by setting up the infrastructure and processes required to create and manage complex film and photo projects as well as producing legally complex films. Prior to joining the NGO world Catherine worked at ITN Productions and BBC Newsnight as well as at other smaller production companies and newsrooms. As a freelancer Catherine works on a range of projects across branded content and charity/NGO producing and shooting/editing. She loves both editorial and creative briefs and can deliver under pressure.
