​​​​She started her film career at twelve years old as a stunt performer on the TV series “Werewolf.” Immersed in the arts, she grew up on her father’s film sets while studying lighting and composition in her mother’s photography studio. Katie attended Loyola Marymount University as a film major with a minor in studio art/photography and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in 1999. 


Working her way up through the camera department, she became a member of IATSE local 600 and was invited to be a member of the prestigious, Society of Operating Cameramen. In 2003 on the mini series “La Femme Musketeer,” Katie began her journey as a camera operator specializing in Steadicam. She operated for over 15 years on many major motion pictures and television projects. During this time she regularly directed 2nd units and in 2014 she became a member of the Directors Guild of America.

Boyum took steps to further herself as a filmmaker by editing the projects that she directed and in the process built a successful post-production and visual effects company, Quest Pacifica. Katie joined the Editors Guild in 2014 and has edited over 120 episodes of television including a handful of feature films. Quest Pacifica has produced multiple independent films and is currently a successful full service post-production facility.

Over the past 10 years Katie has directed numerous documentaries and video game content, which led to directing multiple video game commercials, finally pioneering and directing two live action video games with Motion Control technology at Universal Studios.  


Katie most recently directed the Hawaii Five-0, Magnum PI crossover episode, “Ihea 'oe i ka wa a ka ua e loku.”
