Kate McCallum’s introduction to the arts was through her training as a flutist and an operatic soprano. She studied music, creative theory, communications and media arts at Western Michigan University and received a BA In Communications with a Minor in Music. Kate also studied photography at the Kalamazoo Institute of Art. She relocated from Michigan to Los Angeles and found her way into the entertainment industry. Working first on several music videos for MTV in a variety of positions, and as Script Supervisor for an independent feature starring Tony Curtis and Dee Wallace Stone, Kate discovered her calling as a creative producer and writer. Kate spent 20 years working at NBCUniversal and Paramount Studios in the development and production of primetime scripted television, long-form and feature films working alongside some of the top writers and showrunners in the industry, and for eight of those years she served as a creative development executive. While honing her professional skills and a deep understanding of story, Kate kept her own personal art spirit alive by opening a photography studio, and writing spec scripts and TV series concepts while working days in the studios.
Kate loves collaborating with other creatives and artists and founded Bridge Arts Media, LLC in 2004 so that she could work in a variety of mediums including film, photography, live events, books, and magazines. Because of her love for music, she launched a unique music+art label called THE ART OF SOUND bringing together visual artists and musicians to create not just albums, but live performances, artwork and eventually fulldome immersive and VR content which is what she is producing today. Her first fulldome art+music concert took place in The Vortex Dome with visual artist Audri Phillips and musician/composer, Winter Lazerus. She then went on to produce several more fulldome music+art concerts, and she produced the award-winning 360 fulldome shows Mesmerica and Beautifica with James Hood and director Michael Saul. Kate is also collaborated on an award-winning fulldome show, The Journey 360, with musicians Jahna and Michael Perricone; animator and director, Brianna Amore; and executive producer, Ed Lantz. Currently, she is completing Astronomica, the third dome show with musician James Hood and director, Michael Saul for www.changeworlds.org.
In 2019, she collaborated with artist and performer Elizabeth Yochim to produce the short film Angelbird, performed as a vocalist with Elizabeth in a performance art piece and film called Essence which was featured at the Fine Arts Building during Artwalk Los Angeles, and she also performed with Elizabeth at the Los Angeles Union Station.
