Exorcism, Boxing, and Redemption: The Captivating Journey of an American Artist

In October 2025, a documentary filmmaker named Maximilien Dejoie is set to premiere his latest film, "Everything Works Out (in the End)," at the Ji.hlava doc fest in the Czech Republic. The film follows the captivating journey of an American artist, Katelyn Louise Doty, also known as Kate, as she navigates an unconventional path from a career as a stripper to a would-be boxer to a writer and musician.

Dejoie confesses that capturing Doty's story was a challenging endeavor, as he had to work solo with a handheld camera, following her wherever she went, even when she changed course on her life direction. One of the most significant obstacles was Doty's claim that she was possessed by a demon, which led her to seek an exorcism. While Dejoie himself is skeptical of such supernatural beliefs, he admits that being around Doty at times made it difficult to maintain that position.

Despite the challenges, Dejoie's film ultimately finds a compelling narrative in Doty's search for faith and redemption. Feeling the need to reconnect with her roots, she leaves Chicago and embarks on a cross-country journey towards her hometown in Massachusetts, just before the 2024 presidential election. It is during this more contemplative phase of Doty's life that Dejoie realizes he has the story he needs to tell, capturing her quiet return to a simpler existence, where she says all she wants is "to be nobody."
