A madcap comedy about Frederick Steinkamp, the owner/manager of a small West Hollywood apartment building. His tenants range from members of organized crime, free-lance nuclear physicists, alternative-music producers and an assortment of hard-to-define Hollywood "wanna-be's."
When they fall behind in their rent, Frederick's solution is to murder them and sell their possessions at his weekly garage sale. Some of his tenants are harder to kill than others, so Steinkamp's solution is less than perfect. But he is able to stay one step ahead of the "law" for most of the film.

"I highly recommend Kathi ... I've found her work to be of the highest professional quality in all departments, and I know that in both vision and execution this stems from Kathi...talking with her cast and crew I wasn't at all surprised to learn that they loved working with her and were uniformly eager to work with her again."
Marc Scott Zicree, Writer/Producer/Nebula Award-winner

"I have known Kathi for over 2 years now. I am very impressed by her work, both in topic and technical execution. Because of her work, I was anxious to collaborate with Kathi on a pilot, so I know of her creative understanding of project development..."

"Worth is a gem. Truly. ... Kathi masterfully shows in this elegant film how she has mastered storytelling through all the tools at a director's disposal. It is cast perfectly, shot beautifully, and scored masterfully. This all began with her touching script and finished with one of my favorite shorts EVER!!!!!"
Mary Lou Belli, Director

"Kathi recently shadowed me as I directed an episode of the television series Justified and I was absolutely impressed with her complete understanding and mastery of the filmmaking process. She is highly qualified and I will admit was mostly ahead of me during our time on set. I was lucky to have her there as I benefitted directly from her input during the process. She is enthusiastic, motivated and a pleasure to be with."
Dean Parisot, Director
