Annie Howell
Annie Howell is a writer, filmmaker, and educator based in Manhattan, where she teaches third-year writing in NYU’s Graduate Film program and holds a Distinguished Lectureship in Film at City College’s MFA program. A returning Catwalk resident (Summer 2023), Howell will continue developing two major projects during her winter stay: a gothic stage musical addressing the opioid epidemic in rural Ohio, and an independent feature following three generations of a family on a single day trip from suburban New Jersey to Manhattan—each carrying a private agenda. Her work blends dark humor, intimacy, and social observation, and Catwalk once again provides a space for sustained creative focus.
