Born in Brooklyn, Catherine Cyran graduated from Harvard and promptly moved to London to work as a management consultant for the Royal Shakespeare Company. Upon returning to the States, she acted as the political issues advisor for several state and congressional campaigns in Massachusetts. Following a stint at Stanford Business School, she decided to give up all hope of a normal life and moved to Los Angeles to begin a career in filmmaking.
She started by writing and producing low-budget movies for Roger Corman. Next, she wrote and directed her first feature, "White Wolves," an outdoor family adventure for Disney Channel, which won her a Daytime Emmy nomination. She went on to write and/or direct more than twenty other films, including "Dangerous Waters," a river-rafting movie for The Family Channel; "Sawbones," a horror movie for Showtime, starring Adam Baldwin; "True Heart," an action-drama shot in British Columbia, starring Kirsten Dunst; and "Christmas Do-Over," a romantic comedy for ABC Family, starring Jay Mohr. Most recently, she wrote "Honey 3: Dare to Dance," a hip-hop dance movie, and co-wrote "Werewolf: The Beast Among Us," a horror movie, both for Universal Studios. She also directed three installments of the "Prince & Me" film franchise, starring Chris Geere and Luke Mably, shooting the films in Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and Thailand. In between films, she amused herself by writing a young adult novel, Island of the Last Great Auk, adapted from her screenplay, "The Last Story," set in Newfoundland, which won the 2014 Canadian International Film Festival award for excellence in writing.
Catherine continues to split her time between writing and directing, and is thrilled to announce that she has recently become a Permanent Resident of Canada. She now satisfies all Canadian content requirements and plans on residing in both Santa Monica and Vancouver in the future."
