kc englander (they/them) is a visual creative whose film experience runs 17 years deep. As a Production Designer, Art Director, Set Dresser and Fabricator, they consider it a supreme joy and privilege to shepherd works into being. To them, this practice of "make-believing" — from imaginal concept, through bold experimentation, to synthesis of all parts into their final, truest form — is a vital kind of magic.
KC is known for their thoughtful storytelling, rich hand-built worlds, quick wit and elegant composition. As a collaborator, they operate with open communication, curiosity, determination and a zeal for solving the dynamic puzzle that is production. As a leader, they strive to be an agent of supportive learning, continuous improvement and inclusion.
In the community, KC serves on the Board of Catalyst Film Collective, and as a Core Organizer with Slow Blink Puppet Collective. You can otherwise find them sports-ing with queers, volunteering on Indigenous land projects, performing live music, or out on a walk with their partner and dog.
New-Mexico-raised, currently based in Portland, OR.
