Kathy Lindboe | Director/Writer/Producer

Kathy Lindboe is a New York based filmmaker debuting her first feature film, NONAMES, shot entirely on location in central Wisconsin. Born in Edina, MN and a native of Hudson, Wisconsin, her ties to the Midwest run deep. After studying theater and film at Minnesota’s St. Cloud State University, she went on to hone her craft directing theater in Minneapolis, MN, directing twelve stage productions, including John Patrick Shanley’s Beggars in the House of Plenty, Eric Bogosian’s subUrbia and Martin Sherman’s Bent. In addition she was the choreographer for the Phoenix Playhouse’s production of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and The Importance of Being Ernest. It was also in Minneapolis where the story of NONAMES first started to take shape. Eventually moving to New York to study film, Kate directed several short films as well as the Off-Broadway production of Charles Fuller’s a Soldiers Play for the Diversity Players of Harlem. In the meantime, NONAMES started to gain momentum with workshops at The Illusion Theater in Minneapolis and at New York University¹s Graduate Acting Program.

She is currently inspired by the filmmaker Thomas McCarthy and photographer Robert Frank and all things small town including good oldtimer country music, star filled skies and long gravel roads. Kate is the writer, director and producer of NONAMES, currently residing in Brooklyn, New York. Endless thanks to her dad for letting her be free in telling this story about their family and her brother.
