Katherine Clary is an Emmy-nominated filmmaker based in New York City. 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 collaborative work has screened at Athens Film + Video Festival, Woodstock Film Festival, Millennium Film Workshop, Camden International Film Festival, and Telluride Film Festival.
Prior to film, she worked in independent publishing as copyeditor of Apartamento (2008-2011), managing editor of Wilder Quarterly (2012-2015), and editor of Dogme Magazine (2014-2016), an annual film magazine with Libraryman Books. 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 maintains a Substack called Griefbooks where she writes about loss.
