✷Kat VanCleave

Kat VanCleave is an artist, designer & filmmaker. She feels most at home writing the weirdos, the black sheep and the characters that move through the world sideways. Her films are color-drenched and slightly off-kilter, pulling out the juiciest moments of the inner psyche, cracks and all.

She has led the design of over 40 narrative projects, including feature films, short films, television pilots, and web series, collaborating with creatives and studios such as Destry Allyn Spielberg, HBO, and Apple TV. Her work blends cinematic storytelling with spatial design, crafting worlds that feel both intimate and expansive.

In 2025, she launched GURL GRANT, a biannual grant for Female & Non-Binary Directors and her production company, Rainbow Pirates!, is quickly becoming a cozy little space for her own weird & wonderful fever dreams.
