Winter Session

March 12th - 29th

Catwalk Institute proudly welcomes Morgan J. Smart (she/her), a Brooklyn-based multidisciplinary artist and NYU Graduate Musical Theatre Writing alum. Morgan returns to Catwalk's Winter Session to advance her feature-length film, SMART WOMEN. Set on a small English Channel island, the story follows three women—Niece, Aunt, and Grandmother—navigating grief, self-discovery, and acceptance. During her residency, Morgan will finalize the next draft and prepare materials for production, festival, and grant applications.
