   CULTURE CATALYST creates, develops and produces female-forward, diverse, cinematic stories that entertain and catalyze transformation in individual lives and shared cultures. Here are recent quotes from reviews and press on one of Culture Catalyst\'s most recent films/proof-of-concept pilots, STORMCHASER: “I particularly like how Claggett uses the various facets of a storm to describe her lead Bonnie’s life and growth…STORMCHASER is an example of compelling short film storytelling.” – Film Threat “Breathtaking cinematography combined with Mary Birdsong‘s performance makes STORMCHASER an awesome first episode…Writer/Director Gretl Claggett has left this story with enough intrigue to go in any direction she wants. You can see why it’s won awards…STORMCHASER will easily blow you away.” – Reel News Daily “A surprisingly deep and introspective tale of empowerment and self-belief, underpinned by important socio-economic messages that feel increasingly relevant…the script by writer-director Gretl Claggett tackles the issues with impressive poise.” – IndieVisible “Mixing drama and dark humor is a difficult task, but Gretl Claggett almost makes it look easy here…The pilot for STORMCHASER strikes an engaging chord with dark humor, a fun premise, and solid performances. Chase it.” – Kevin The Critic “What most impressed me about this film was how Claggett packs so many different genres into the 27-minute runtime of STORMCHASER and pulls it off so successfully.” – Project-Nerd “Great films live on two levels, story and subtext. In STORMCHASER, they mesh perfectly: there’s a storm coming and it’s a character test. Gretl Claggett — creator, writer and director — passes her test brilliantly.” – Jesse Kornbluth, Head Butler “A film about the inner and outer storms that menace our society, STORMCHASER threads the needle of the personal and political in every breathtaking frame.” – Jacob Krueger, Jacob Krueger Studio
