Kate Hautakoski



Kate is an independent filmmaker based in Montréal, Canada. She graduated with distinction in 2023 from Concordia’s Communication Studies program and has been actively involved in the film industry ever since. In 2024, she worked on three short films Including an onging collaboration with Aren’t We All Productions. She is currently in pre-production for her fourth project.
