Katie Wolfe

New Plymouth-born Katie Wolfe has won awards as both an actor and director. After leading roles in Marlin Bay and Cover Story, she first stepped behind the camera in 2002, for Shortland Street. Her debut short film This Is Her (2008) screened at festivals around the globe. Since directing a TV movie of Witi Ihimaera novel Nights in the Garden of Spain in 2011, Wolfe has continued to direct, and occasionally act. 

... as an actor I was always a little bit frustrated, asking questions it wasn’t my job to ask. As a director I can mould the story and set the tone. Katie Wolfe in Next Magazine, May 2009
