About

Katrina Pfannkuch – Creative Katrina

Owner, Creative Consultant, Producer, Writer

I believe creativity is how you show up and create anything in your life. If you aren’t clear on what you want to create, how to open up your heart to create it, or feel you lack creative ability and direction altogether, you aren’t alone. We’ve all been there — including me.

My passion is helping you tap into your inner voice, creativity and personal vision, then helping you create your film, edit, write, produce, build, and manage all the parts required to bring it to life.

I love to collaborate with filmmakers as a creative consultant and producer/project manager to refine and support film project goals, edit and shape scripts, manage a variety of pre-production and production strategies and requirements, offer support with fundraising and provide marketing and marketing content strategy for a film project.

As a creative and writer myself, working with other writers is my happy place. Whether its on script ideas or script reviews, revisions on scripts or just as an objective editor on any type of writing project – being a creative collaborator is one of my favorite things.

Looking for a little guidance as a creative or on a specific project, but the form of expression is still taking shape? I also love collaborating with folks who have a seed of an idea and then together, we can plan it’s development path and final form.

How I Can Help You

I have a unique background and combination of skills to support clients from a variety of angles. I’m a creative consultant, project manager, producer, writer, editor, podcaster and mindset coach with an M.A in Journalism.

I collaborate with and support creatives, filmmakers, writers, artists, creative entrepreneurs and coaches to clear creative blocks, gain clarity, generate focus and create what they envision. Then, together, we build a plan, strategy and specific action items to make it a reality.

I also support and guide individuals and teams on projects to help craft clear action steps and build momentum towards personal and professional goals. Offering my objective perspective as a creative consultant I’m able to spot pain points and share insight on how to move through them, enabling you to actively work on project rather than running them.

For more a more detailed work history, including my role in co-creating and producing a local, international film festival, and my work with Fort Collins Public Media as a board member, see my profile on LinkedIn. 

My biggest strength: I “hear beneath the words”, which is a fancy way of saying I’m a really good listener and can translate your vision and direction for a project in addition to helping you build a plan to create and implement it.

What do I get out of this? I’m fascinated with what inspires people to create and how they choose to share it with the world. When I get to collaborate with people and teams to take an idea from concept through to a completed expression, it allows me to use all of my best, and favorite, skills.

My core essence: Grounded clarity infused with creative sparks. I’m also sassy, fun and love to laugh. A lot. Just want to give you a heads up in case you find lightheartedness offensive and are altogether too serious. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Confused on how to say my last name? It’s pronounced Fan-cook and means pancake in German.  Now you know why I’ve created a more web-friendly persona, Creative Katrina, to make things easier for all of us. And yes, some friends do call me pancake.
