About
Kathryn Machi first studied feature journalism and modern dance until a brain tumor steered her to the holistic arts and later to her MFA in Fiction and Screenwriting. She is a proud, enrolled Cherokee Nation citizen and a dual U.S. / French citizen: Both cultures fire her impetus and imagination as a writer and as a human being. A professional energy- and bodyworker, Kathryn helms ViviLu Productions, writing predominantly historical, feminist, and transcultural screenplays and stories for international audiences of all ages. She and her husband have two grown children and enjoy slow cuisine and coastal life on the western edge of the American continent, her native San Francisco.
