Biography

Katie Hopkins (she/they) is a non-binary writer and director living in Los Angeles. Her directorial debut, "Jenna Has to Live," premiered at Slamdance 2023 as part of the Unstoppable program. The scope of Hopkins’ storytelling is largely influenced by her own experiences of living as a queer, non-binary individual with Type 1 Diabetes. She tells radically honest stories that explore disability, invisible illness, and generational trauma with the intent to normalize different ways of living and the idea that “it’s okay not to be okay.”
