Initially celebrated for her screenwriting, Wood later expanded into directing. As the writer-director of the short film Home, she became the first UK winner of the Jameson First Shot Competition.

These include her sci-fi script Envoy and pitch Genus to three-time Academy Award nominee producer Amy Pascal, the action pitch Diplomatic Courier to Skydance, and the assassin thriller Ruby to Amazon Studios, which will be produced by 87North. Amazon also acquired her original pitch, Fuel, a story about a getaway driver. Her supernatural spy thriller, Enigma, was optioned by producer Erica Lee during her tenure as SVP at Thunder Road. She also worked on Marvel Studios' The Fantastic Four: First Steps, contributing to the story and earning a story credit on the film.

Based in Los Angeles, Kat Wood has been recognised as one of the UK's rising stars and previously worked as a BBC broadcast journalist before transitioning into film.
