Catherine’s debut feature film, Growing Pains, from Argyrople Productions is a real & raw coming-of-age story about identity, sexuality, and the aftermath of surviving cancer. Growing Pains follows childhood girlfriends Zoe and Nat, who face the tumultuous transition from middle to high school as their friendship drifts apart.
Catherine is the Writer/Director/Executive Producer. The film is semi-autobiographical, inspired by Catherine’s experiences as a childhood cancer survivor. The story is about growing into yourself, amidst a society that ignores the serious hardships that teen girls face. Addressing disability, queer representation, and mental health, Growing Pains is a love letter for young women who have struggled to see their stories depicted on screen.
Growing Pains was written, directed, produced, and filmed by women. Growing Pains was shot entirely in Massachusetts in summer 2022 and wrapped post-production in September 2023. Growing Pains was listed on the Diversity Spotlight at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival by Nielsen, Studio System and RespectAbility, alongside Ava Duvernay’s Origin and Denis Villeneuve’s Dune. Growing Pains is world premiering at The Boston International Film Festival in April 2024.
