Kathryn From Embers Interviews

Kathryn and the key members of the cast and crew of the new movie From Embers, gave a series of press interviews as part of the publicity campaign around the recent limited run theatrical release.

In each case Kathryn was able to explain how she was drawn to the project particularly because it portrayed a single mother with an autistic child. Lead actress Kara Wang, plays that mother, the almost correctly spelt Lily

I’ve pulled together links to 3 interviews in which various combinations of writer/director Kate Bohan, and actors Matthew Morrison, Kara Wang, Kayla Bohan, and Kathryn speaking to a journalist.

In no particular order they are:

Collider’s Arezou Amin chat with all of them HERE.

“…I felt like this movie did a good job of weighing out all of the different the genres that came together into one family story.”

Brandon Schreur of Coming Soon talking to just Kara and Kathryn HERE.

“Kate Bohan must have known to send it to me because a lot of people don’t know that I have twin sons on the spectrum. She knew that my heartstrings would be pulled.”

The Direct writer Russ Milheim interviewing the five HERE.

“So, I thought I just would love to be part of telling this story. Playing a character that is different. She’s a bit of a childless cat lady, and she’s supportive, but she’s complex.”

Advertising Week New York Interview 2022

Kathryn’s day in New York last October was slightly busier than we’ve so far been able to report.

As part of promoting her Savants initiative supporting and advocating for autism at the 2022 New York Advertising Week event, Kathryn was interviewed by Dhomonique Murphy for Amazon Ads.

At the same event the previous year Kathryn did an on stage interview. This one was in a studio with no audience, which I think made it easier to give more detailed descriptions of her experiences. For people that really care about Kathryn, in parts it can be a slightly difficult watch as you learn more about what she has been through, and continues to face, with her boys. It sounds like they are developing well though. Don’t worry, we also get to see that amazing Kathryn smile we all love so much.

You can watch the entire 15 minute video on YouTube HERE.

A few screencaps of Kathryn from the video have been added to the Gallery.

Huge thanks to TJ for sending the details of this video to KM UK so we can share it with you all.

Advertising Week New York 2021 – Update

Back in October 2021 we covered that Kathryn had attended Advertising Week in New York.

Kathryn was there to promote her The Savants initiative and took part in The Creative Showcase Stage, conducting an interview with Tom Ajello.

This is just a quick post with additional photos from the event (photoshoot, interview, publicity shot) and a link to a video of the interview which only recently found its way to YouTube.

The images are in the Gallery and you can watch the 25 minute long chat HERE.

Stop, Start Continues

The Start TV network has posted some additional items on their website referencing Kathryn.

The channel is very much focussed on women in and around the media. All but one of the main shows they broadcast is female lead. Only Early Edition starring Kyle Chandler (Catch-22) gets a look in, and he’s relegated to the appropriately middle of the night slots. Cold Case gets televised back-to-back in mid-afternoon double.

First up is a brief article previewing a series of pieces celebrating women in TV ahead of the Emmy Awards, which happens on Sunday (22nd September). After a quick recap of Kathryn’s career (so far) they link back to the interview we covered here back in July. Not surprisingly that interview was not a complete transcript of the conversation which took place, and they have been holding bits back for use in these extra items. It ends with this quote:

“I never really looked at Cold Case as an overnight success. I feel like I had 13, 14, 15 years of being an apprentice or a journeyman. I never underestimate the small steps in learning to become an actor.” After a pause, she added, “or learning how to do anything in life.”

Next is a much longer feature covering ten women, including Kathryn and Tracie Thoms (Kat Miller in CC), that work in and around TV. There are actors, producers and writers.

I assume that Start TV will continue to post pieces like these in the future and I will endeavour to highlight the ones involving Kathryn when they do.

Kathryn’s Start Story

Sit down children, and then I’ll begin…

Remember the surprise selfies (selfi?) posted by Tracie back in March? Well in case you don’t you can view that post HERE. It was clear the photos had something to do with the new female-centric US television network Start TV, currently broadcasting Cold Case daily, and I hoped we would hear about it later. That time has finally arrived.

Start TV has published Kathryn’s My Start Story article. It details Kathryn’s early life performing in her family’s gospel group, The Morris Code, through her introduction to movies and getting the role of Lilly Rush in Cold Case. There are quotes from Kathryn throughout and a couple of short video clips as companion items.

I urge you to read the full article HERE on the Start TV website.

Of course Tracie was there too and you can read her My Start Story HERE.

It wouldn’t be KM UK without some images and in this case we have some nice HD (720p) screencaps from the two video clips in the Gallery, and we have small versions of the videos for completeness.

Have a good weekend.
