Katka Konecna

Born and raised in Prague, Czech Republic, Katka moved to New York in 1999. She performed in theater since age seven. Her fascination for arts led to School of Fine Arts, where she mastered everything from classical charcoal drawing to oil painting and metal sculpture. Later, she went on to study engineering to understand technical background and principles for her creations, followed by studies in Architecture and parallel Film studies at the Czech Academy of Performing Arts. In Prague she opened her own design studio and worked as a film architect on several film and performance productions. After she moved to New York, she continued practicing architecture and in 2000 launched her own furniture collection AppiaLine. She also studied dramatic writing at New York University and it was here - with all her experience to bear - that she began writing, producing, and directing her own films.
