Cathy Bui Title.png

Cathy loves people. How we’re each crafted so individually, yet all live to love and be loved.

Her storytelling is vibrant, curious, + drawn to the quirkiness of everyday life. She likes to look at the ordinary through the lens of a kid again. Taxes, school pickups, awkward conversations, and all of being human can actually be pretty fun with the right angle.

She loves sitcoms. Her first crush will forever be Steve Urkel.

She loves ’80s pop and heart-wrenching ballads. Something special about music that can make you dance and cry.

Cathy wants to make stuff. Commercials, campaigns, music videos, and narrative stories that feel human, playful, and familiar.

She wants POC to be the heroes, the villains, the weird neighbors, the hopeless romantics, the complicated ones, and everything in between.

Media is everywhere. So why shouldn’t the people writing the stories - and taking up the screen - be the people we already know?
