Welcome to chipAway productions

Bring the magic of filmmaking to your boardroom, classroom or event with chipAway Productions! Since 2009, we’ve been a powerhouse in the industry, producing several features and short films that shine in festivals. Always bustling with new projects, we combine professional production, personal attention to detail, and extensive consulting services with a robust educational component.

We are Donald Preston Cato and Katha Cato, partners in filmmaking and in life, and we lead the charge. As experienced educators—Preston in film production and Katha in Youth Development—we set high standards and inspire our students to excel. We’ve produced 96 short films with K-12 students and are deeply committed to community projects that help to bring unheard voices forward.

We also spearhead the Queens World Film Festival, producing top-tier industry events, interactive performances, public art exhibitions, and educational programs both in classrooms and online.

For your next project, consider bringing in our full-service team to deliver excellence.
