She was busy scheduling film role auditions by 2010. She soon made her acting debut in the movie “Backlight,” playing the character “Jamie.” Backlight was a quiet movie that didn’t pick up much steam with critics or audiences.
She portrayed the character of “Lucy” in the comedy-drama movie “Conception” in 2011. The movie failed to perform well at the box office and earned mixed reviews from reviewers. Caitlin gained notoriety as a gifted child performer despite the film’s failure, which was shown in the fact that she starred in approximately a dozen TV parts in the same year.
In 2011, Caitlin made guest appearances on several well-known television shows, including “iCarly,” “Hot in Cleveland,” “Shake It Up,” “True Blood,” “Dexter,” and “Bag of Bones.” She was nominated for a few accolades for her performances in some of those critically acclaimed programs.

She landed a significant opportunity that same year when she was selected to play the series’ lead character in “Chosen.” In the action thriller, she portrayed ‘Ellie Mitchell’. It garnered outstanding reviews. For the next two years, Caitlin kept playing the part and rose to renown around the world.

She also made appearances in the short film “Monsters” and the movie “Wiener Dog Internationals” in the same year.
