Katrina Sorrentino
Hi I’m Katrina but my close friends call me Treen.
I’m an artist working in film, photo and performance.
I produced and shot Crossing Over, (Univision and Participant) which won a GLAAD award for ‘Outstanding Documentary Spanish Language’. I directed The Curious Life of Bill Mont, (SXSW, Hot Docs) which was part of Oculus & Facebook’s ‘VR for Good’ program. I just premiered Tidal (Harnisch Foundation, DOCNYC m2023), a documentary short about psychological abuse and We Ride For Her (SXSWm 2024). I am in pre-production for Naughty By Nature (NXN), which is also a tragic comedy TV series, about two sexually repressed women who “break up” with white male god.
