Katrina S. Pavlos

Katrina S. Pavlos has this odd knack for picking projects that totally mess with your head—in a good way, trust me. You might’ve spotted her name attached to “This Time Next Year” (2024), a film that’s got more heart and chaos than your average love story. Basically, it spins around two people who keep bumping into each other at the same New Year’s party, year after year, never quite getting their timing right. It’s that feeling of fate just playing with you, like the universe can’t make up its mind. There’s banter, a little heartbreak, and honestly, more hope than you’d expect. Then there’s “Way Past Space,” which is a whole different ride. We’re talking sci-fi that doesn’t get lost in the techy weeds, but goes straight for the feels. It’s about a crew stuck way out past anything humanity’s ever mapped, trying to figure out if they even want to come back. Think loneliness, wild cosmic visuals, and a sense of wonder that actually lingers after the credits roll. And don’t sleep on “Something Great and Beautiful.” This one digs deep into the messiness of chasing what you love, even when the odds are stacked and everyone’s telling you you’re dreaming. Pavlos brings this electric energy—her characters feel real, like people you’d actually want to grab coffee with. She’s not just acting; she’s living in those stories, pulling you right along for the ride.
