Filmmaker

Katie Flaxman

Katie loves stories. She loves listening to them, reading them, watching them and crafting them. 


As a film student at university, she snuck into the tape-to-tape suite after hours for a project and her passion for picture-editing (and 90s post-rock) was born.

Cut to 20 years later and Katie has edited a number of critically acclaimed shorts, documentaries and feature films which have screened at some of the world’s most prestigious festivals, including Sundance, Berlin, Tribeca, Tokyo, Toronto, Sydney and Melbourne International Film Festivals. 


Her television work, both scripted and factual, has screened across all Australian networks and also around the world on Netflix, Stan, Amazon and Paramount +.

More recently, Katie edited Jub Clerc’s debut feature film, Sweet As. After premiering at MIFF in August 2022, where it won the Blackmagic Award for Innovation, it picked up the NETPAC Award at TIFF (Toronto), followed by the Crystal Bear for Best Film (Generation K-Plus) at the Berlin Film Festival. It has screened at numerous festivals around the world and has been nominated for seven AACTA Awards, including best Editing in a Feature Film.

Since then, Katie has edited feature film The Appleton Ladies Potato Race for Paramount + and just completed post on a six-part television comedy, White Fever, premiering later this year on the ABC.
