Caitlyn is an Emmy Award-winning filmmaker from the American South drawn to stories that break the mold.

Named one of Filmmaker Magazine’s “25 New Faces of Independent Film,” her work has been supported by Sundance Institute, Impact Partners, Doc Society, and International Documentary Association, among others.

Her documentary short The Diamond was acquired by The New Yorker after premiering at Camden International Film Festival where it won the Vimeo Staff Pick Award. Her previous short films have screened at festivals around the world and taken home several jury awards along with Vimeo Staff Picks' Best of the Year. She has directed work for brands including YouTube, Facebook, and Mercedes-Benz.

She received a Primetime Emmy and an ACE Eddie Award for her editing on The Jinx, HBO’s Peabody Award-winning documentary series. Other editing projects include the vérité documentary feature When Lambs Become Lions, for which Caitlyn was awarded Best Editing at Tribeca Film Festival and nominated for an IDA Documentary Award; as well as FX’s documentary series A Wilderness of Error, from Marc Smerling (The Jinx) and Errol Morris. She was a consulting editor on Peabody- and IDA-nominated Sam Now (ITVS, Criterion) and is an executive producer on the forthcoming short film Gatorville.

She is currently in production on her feature directorial debut.
