Kathleen started her career at 10 years old by 'staging' her friends and sisters in still
shots of 'action'. In 1982 she began directing and producing theatre in Boston.
Dozens of plays later, and a writer herself, she decided to leap into film.

A big leap, her first feature that she wrote, directed, and produced is a three-hour epic
style film titled Messiah. It was completed in 2002 and picked up by a distributor shortly after.
It was screened at the Wreck Beach Film Festival in Toronto with wonderful reviews, and
winning Best of the festival. Prior to that, she studied all the books she could,
went to the Hollywood Film Institute's short courses and graduated. From there she
did a one-year internship at a local television studio running camera, directing, and writing
on an award-winning comedy show. Kathy is a member of indieclub.com, where she's
learned more than she could in film school.

She belonged to the Harvard Square Scriptwriters, Women In Film & Video, and
Mass Media Alliance. On the occasion, Kathy will throw herself into an 'extra' role in a movie.
Such as the likes of A Civil Action, Man Without A Face, and Celtic Pride. In 2002 Kathy wrote,
shot, and directed an emotional documentary, Out In The Dark, following a toddler that was raped
and beaten and what his life was like for him. It's hard to see a five year old suicidal. It's not yet in
distribution, as she is still working on later in his life, but for what has been shown to two test audiences,
the tears flowed and emotions ran high.

A producer in Italy hired KM Fitzgerald to manage and direct his movie in Boston in 2003,
The Ring of The Bishop which now is making the festival circuit. Also in 2003, she took on a family feature, Nathan's Rebellion, that was shot on location in Southwick , MA . It was an Official Selection screened at the 2004 Boston International Film Festival in a prime time slot. The reviews were excellent.

To date, Kathy has worked on the following features and shorts: Messiah, Ring Of The Bishop,
Out In The Dark, Magical Portals, Nathan's Rebellion, The Ancient, A Joker's Card,
A Matter Of Choice, Chaotic Breakfast, Parallel aka Penis Envy, A 9/11 Remembrance,
For The Troops, and is currently working on a feature documentary entitled Killer Mom From Outer Space.

Her favorite movie, yet to be made, will be from the book Mikayla-The Second Coming.
The business plan, budget, and script are just about ready. Then watch out world.

In one of her production pics, you'll notice the blood. When she worked as a co-Director and co-DP of
The Ancient (written and produced by Richard McClure), she mentioned that it was her first horror movie.
Well, she couldn't get away without being 'inducted' into the horror genre via a blood bath; a very sticky situation, to say the least.
