Founder, Artistic Director + Executive Producer

Proudly from the Isle of Mull, Cat has worked in theatre for over a decade, and latterly moved into film. With a background in writing, directing, performing and self-producing, she created solo cabaret as Cat Loud, wrote and directed SPIN! with Vanishing Point as their Associate Director, and her second play Blast Off, Starburst runs at A Play, A Pie and A Pint in November.

In film, she's a BAFTA Connect member, a Short Circuit Convergence screenwriter, a Glasgow Film Festival New Talent mentee, represented Scotland at the CineSud Director's Village filmmakers residency in the Netherlands, and was commissioned to make her first short film through GMAC Film's Little Pictures scheme in 2021. She was one of the inaugural participants of the Sean Connery Talent Lab with NFTS, directing short Gaelic-English bilingual comedy Lady MacLean written by Lana Pheutan and produced by Katie Mallinder.

Cat has also been working in the hospitality and customer service industries for many years, and takes both a clean coffee station and diffusers in the toilets very seriously.

Stage + Company Manager

Ruth graduated from the Production and Technical Arts of Stage and Screen course at LAMDA in 2021 and has worked for over a decade as a member of the stage and production management teams in large and small theatre settings.

Ruth particularly enjoys working with new writing which provides platforms for groups whose voices are not always heard, with the challenges faced by these exciting productions well suited to her strengths and allowing her to collaborate with colleagues throughout the creative and technical process.
