Katiana Weems is an internationally screened director, cinematographer, and editor. An alumni of Syracuse University's Film Production Program, she graduated summa cum laude a VPA scholar- the college's highest undergraduate honor. In the year following, she has continued her involvement with the program by assisting classes as a TA and returning as a guest lecturer. She has also studied film internationally at FAMU University and holds an AA in Film Studies.

After interning with London & LA based Somesuch as an image researcher, she began teaching film at Baltimore School of the Arts and working professionally as a director, cinematographer, and editor. In the past few years she has become quite fond of teaching cinematography and lighting workshops, notably at John's Hopkins University & Syracuse University.

The stories she tells on screen are dynamic and seek to process and unearth raw emotion. As an educator, she encourages this same authenticity in her students- to help them develop the skills to communicate through film in a way that resonates with themselves, their communities, and the world at large.

She is currently based in Baltimore and was a semi-finalist for the 2022 Janet & Walter Sondheim Prize.
