Enfrenta Tus Miedos Con Rodrigo Gómez

Listeners, this week we're back with Kimberly Bautista.
Kimberly is a Colombian-American award-winning writer, director, and producer. Her feature-length documentary “Justice for My Sister” about one Guatemalan woman’s determination to hold her sister’s killer accountable was broadcast on PBS Stations and TeleSUR. Part of an international campaign with UN Women throughout Latin America to end violence against women, the film encouraged audiences to break the silence about abuse. This laid the groundwork for Kimberly to found an arts nonprofit to train women of color, gender nonconforming youth, and former foster youth to make films, heal through storytelling, and overcome financial barriers to entering the TV and film industries.
Kimberly’s comedic pilot The “SweetSpot”—about a group of friends who contend with modern-day adulthood and an unconventional love triangle—premiered at the 2017 Outfest Fusion Film Festival. She’s directed 6 music videos for feminist hip hop artists, over 30 short social justice documentaries, 6 branded content spots, and co-wrote a short film about machismo in Latino families, accumulating over 22 million views.
Kimberly’s magical realism TV pilot script about women’s power to heal “Elemental Powers” was presented as a stage reading at The Second City’s LA Diversity in Comedy Festival. Kimberly’s feature film in development about a 13-year-old girl who’s secretly in a punk-ska-cumbia band against her parents’ wishes “19.99 Plus Tax” was invited to Cine Qua Non Lab’s screenwriting residency in Mexico.
Kimberly has received fellowships from Brown Girls Doc Mafia, HOLA Mexico Film Festival, HBO, the National Association of Latino Independent Producers, Ford Foundation, and several U.S. Embassies. She is a multi-grant recipient of the Princess Grace Foundation and Latino Public Broadcasting.
