Welcome to the Pumpkin Patch!
🌿 Hello Gourd Friends, I'm so excited to invite you into my creative world through The Pumpkin Patch Post!
The purpose of this newsletter is to share updates about my life, work, and creative endeavours with friends and family who are always asking me what the heck I’m doing!
I often have so much on the go that I forget to tell people about everything that's happening in my life - so this is how I’m going to keep everyone updated and help myself stay organized. Maybe you’re someone close to me who’s wondering what I’m up to or maybe you just want to follow along because you’re curious about writing or acting, all that matters is that you’re here if you want to be.
What You'll Find Here
Regular updates about my current writing projects and creative endeavours
Personal reflections on my journey in theatre and film
Behind-the-scenes stories from Pumpkin Patch Productions
My creative process, including late-night inspirations and artistic challenges
Book recommendations that are currently inspiring my work
Think of this as my creative diary, where I'll share both the polished and the messy parts of my life. You'll get first-hand insights into my creative process, from initial sparks of inspiration to finished projects.
My goal is to send out a monthly newsletter on the last day of every month with a life update (personal and professional) plus provide some blog posts about my work, creative process, and seasonal inspirations.
About Me
For those of you who don’t know me; Hello there! I'm Katerina, a queer, Greek-Canadian filmmaker, actor, writer, theatre artist, and snack enthusiast. Through Pumpkin Patch Productions, I tell stories across multiple mediums - from the written word to the stage and screen.
I’ve been working in film and theatre for about ten years now as an actor, writer, and producer and just recently delved into the world of literature with my first novel, Luscious Love, which was released in 2024.
My Creative Journey
My love for storytelling began in childhood and has blossomed into a lifelong pursuit of creative expression. I was always writing stories when I was younger and was lucky enough to have a family that encouraged me to continue my creative pursuits into adulthood.
I’m constantly learning and improving my skills as a performer and a writer (and a human) so if you’re here for a step-by-step guide on how to become the ‘best’ I’m sorry but I only know what I know….but I’m happy to share my experience! Hopefully you’ll find something inspiring or at the very least entertaining in these newsletters.
I still believe in magic. Particularly in the magic of stories to connect, inspire, and transform.
What I Do
I do….a lot.
I write plays, screenplays, and books.
I produce a series called Good Grief available on OUTtv and Bellfibe TV1 and am also one of the lead actors in it.
I’m a working film, tv, and theatre actor - currently playing Clara on MGM’s horror series FROM and Quinn on OUTtv’s Good Grief.
I like to garden and do crafts.
I love to read - Horror, Fantasy, Romantasy.
