Katy Dore once turned down an invitation to have lunch with Queen Elizabeth in favor of going camping. She’s never regretted it.
Favoring stories of people history fails to mention, Katy is an award winning fiction writer, screenwriter and actor. After completing her undergraduate studies at Stanford University, she earned an MFA at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. Katy spent 30 years as the owner of a graphic design firm until a series of back surgeries forced a hiatus. Flat on her back, Katy had a moment to catch her breath and figure out what to do with the rest of her life. Narrowing her options to Rock Goddess or Filmmaker, Katy chose the latter.
