Welcome
Hello! I'm Katherine Davies, a writer inspired by nature and the heart of life.
Latest Apr 2025: 'Odesa' just received its third nod! reaching the semi-finals of the Los Angeles International Screenplay Awards, after semi-final placings at both the Santa Barbara International Screenplay Awards, and the UK's Page Turner Awards.
Awards raise the visibility of a screenplay and increase its chance of being optioned and produced.
Odesa is a contemporary war romance (spec) feature film screenplay set in Washington DC and Ukraine. Professional readers describe it as an "emotionally compelling war drama", a "complex expression of romance blossoming under fire", and a "poignant exploration of human connection amidst chaos" with "award-winning potential". After a visit to the Polish/Ukraine border to speak with refugees in 2022, there was little else I could write about. I have since visited Ukraine three times. Industry note: Odesa is currently hosted on The Black List.
