Kate Cobb is a Los Angeles-based filmmaker and actor known for intimate, off-kilter storytelling that blends emotional authenticity with dark humor and touches of magical realism. Her second feature, BRB, a tender and darkly funny exploration of early-internet girlhood, premiered in the Breakouts program at Slamdance Film Festival 2026. Set in the era of dial-up and AIM away messages, a love-sick teenage girl and her older sister embark on a road trip to meet her online boyfriend, spiraling into chaos as secrets are revealed.

Kate recently completed production on her third feature, Collect, a found-footage dark comedy co-written with longtime collaborator and husband Kevin Bigley- which is currently in post-production. She joins Nandita Joshi to discuss her recent work.
