Hi.

Kitty McMurdo-Schad is a Scottish producer working between London & Glasgow. Since graduating from Edinburgh College of Art with a bursary for highest degree classification across the school as a result of her award-winning short documentary about the Camphill movement (Those Were The Days, 2020), she has gone on to produce digital, commercial and short-form work across the globe.

 

Short Lussevaka (dir. Johanna Sutherland, 2020), went on to win the EIFF 2021 New Visions Award, and a commercial campaign for Ramblers Scotland that she co-produced and directed in 2022 hit 4.3m audience impressions online, winning Gold at the EVCOM London Film Awards in the Best Use of a Smaller Budget category.

​

Kitty has produced campaigns and commercials for clients such as RedBull, NatWest and WHO, having taken crews to the top of the alps and around Formula 1 circuits. Since being selected for GMAC’s ‘Little Pictures’ 2022–23 scheme, she co-produced another short (Natural Causes, dir. Ryan Williams, 2023) after her GMAC film (Hugh, dir. David L. Robertson, 2024), and co-founded a production company - Kit n’ Kat Productions - with another producer from the programme. This company was born out of a passion to champion diverse voices and tell stories that resonated with them.

 

Kitty is currently working as a responsible coordinator on a HETV drama, combining production & sustainability. She is constantly developing her own work, endeavouring to make work that disrupts, connects, intrigues and empowers people.​ Kit n' Kat productions were part of the inaugural cohort of producers on the NFTS Scotland Talent Lab, funded by the Sean Connery Foundation.
