Kat Rohrer: Writer, Director and Producer
Kat has been passionate about films and directing for as long as she can remember.
Growing up in Vienna, Austria she would frequently accompany her actress aunt to rehearsals. From then on she was obsessed with anything to do with Film and Theater. Her passion for film eventually led her to New York to study at the School of Visual Arts.
For the past 20 years Kat has made both New York and Vienna her home, following her passion for film on both continents. Kat loves working within a team to bring her vision, people’s stories or a script to the screen.
Over the last 15 years she has produced and directed both narrative films and documentaries, as well as a wide variety of industrial films and commercials.

Inheritance
Kat Rohrer is co-author of the book “Inheritance: Love, Loss, and the Legacy of the Holocaust”. Together with Charlie Scheidt, the son of German-Jewish refugees, she traces his family’s story through hidden documents, memories, and the places of their escape from Nazi Europe.
The book connects personal family history with larger questions of trauma, responsibility, and remembrance across generations.
