San Francisco writer-producer Kathryn Machi, MFA, helms ViviLu Productions where she creates upbeat, culturally diverse, and gynocentric stories for international audiences ages 10 to 110. Her feature screenplays have been developed and optioned through Sundance Co//ab; the Community of Screenwriters at Squaw Valley; the California Film Institute; Mar Vista Entertainment in Los Angeles, and Nuit Blanche Productions in Montreal.
Kathryn is co-lead for Mom-in-Film SF Chapter, an inclusive, national organization fighting for parity and representation for mothers and caregivers working in film. She is also a master holistic arts practitioner and instructor and an erstwhile dancer with a special passion for Indigenous Contemporary Dance. A dual U.S./French citizen and an enrolled member of the Cherokee Nation, Kathryn has two grown children and lives with her husband on the foggy western edge of the City.
PROJECTS:
JUNE ROSE, a limited TV series, is a family/period drama set in a late 1960s San Francisco bursting with protesters, police, and Flower Power. Based on true events and inspired by Kathryn's mother's life, JUNE ROSE is endorsed by the Cherokee Nation and is a fiscally sponsored project with Filmmakers Collaborative San Francisco, whose mission is to "support compelling films and campaigns that engage audiences and create tangible public benefit."
FIREBIRD, a contemporary dance/family drama, is an exuberant, cinematically beautiful, “feel good” story. The script won Best Feature Screenplay in the Moondance and Tulsa American Film Festival competitions, was a Sundance Second Rounder, a Quarterfinalist in Austin Film and Screencraft drama screenwriting competitions, and is officially endorsed by the Cherokee Nation.
BUZZ, a post-modern, feminist dance thriller, is set in contemporary San Francisco and stars Earth's superheroes: Bees! BUZZ is based on Kathryn's unpublished novella, The Dangergirls and Other Love Stories, and was optioned by Mar Vista Entertainment in 2019.
