Caitlin Carleton is an actor and filmmaker from Cleveland, Ohio currently living in Los Angeles. She has two projects in post-production. BLACKOUT, a drama about a young woman spiraling downwards from addiction and DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS a comedy about Alex and the challenging people in her life. She is inspired by stories about second chances and she loves to find the comedy in things. She is currently in pre-production for her next short film; RESENSE about a mother who wants to reconnect with her estranged daughter.
She has her own production company "Red Sage Productions" which has produced pilots, web series, theater, films and stand up shows. Caitlin also started a non-profit organization called "Just Give Love" which helps the homeless living in Los Angeles. She lives with her pitbull, Spencer.
Fantasy Pony follows the story of three horse girls as they prepare for the Annual Calypso Township Model Horse Show. This competition means everything to these girls and they will stop at nothing to win the competition, even if it means sacrificing their friendships. I wanted to play with the mockumentary style and blend in traditional storytelling elements. This is a film about friendship and being apart of something bigger than yourself. It is an homage to growing up in the ’90s and early 2000s.
I had so much fun working on this story, I hope you enjoy it and laugh as much as I do. Thank you!
