Katherine Clary is a filmmaker and writer based in New York City. With early experience in commercial production for clients like Nike, Samsung, and Zara, she moved into documentary and hybrid filmmaking in 2021. Prior to film, she also worked in independent publishing as copyeditor of Apartamento (2010-2014), managing editor of Wilder Quarterly (2012-2015), and editor of Dogme Magazine (2014-2016), an annual film magazine based in Stockholm, Sweden. In 2018, she started The Wine Zine, a bi-annual magazine about the people, places, and culture around natural and biodynamic wine, highlighted in the New York Times in 2019 as "a lifestyle magazine for natural wine lovers." As an extension of the magazine, she was commissioned by Hachette Book Group to write her first book, Wine, Unfiltered, which was published in 2020.

She works as a producer, archival researcher, and filmmaker, most recently on the feature length documentary The New Yorker at 100 for Netflix, executive produced by Judd Apatow. In her personal work, she is interested in exploring mortality, memory, and the intersection of society and the built environment. Her films have screened at Athens Film + Video Festival, Woodstock Film Festival, Millennium Film Workshop, Camden International Film Festival, and Telluride Film Festival.
