The films have screened together and individually all around the world. Another in the series, Hush, won the Audience Award at the Creteil International Women’s Film Festival in 2008. Kath also produced short film Pla ins Empty (dir: Beck Cole), which premiered at Sundance in the same year as Green Bush. Her other award winning shorts include Confessions of a Headhunter , which won Best Short Film at the 2000 AFI Awards and Above the Dust Level (Best Comedy, Melbourne Film Festival, 1999). Kath was awarded the Rising Talent Award at the Inside Film (IF) Awards in 2005. Kath is also producing a documentary about the making of Samson & Delilah through the eyes of the two young cast. The documentary is being directed and co-produced by Beck Cole for ABC TV. Kath is preparing to shoot her second feature later in the year, The Place Between, which is written and to be directed also by Beck Cole.
