Kia’s narrative films, music videos and documentaries have played in festivals all over the world. Her documentary Looking for Sly won awards for Best Short Doc at SXSW, LA International Short, and Tortured Artist Film Festival. Her music videos have been in rotation on MTV, and won awards from Zoie Fest and Berkeley Film Festival. The Pacific Pioneer Fund awarded her the Emerging Filmmaker Grant. Both PBS’s video i and Varnish Art Gallery in San Francisco have presented retrospectives of her work. She participated in AFI’s Women Director’s Workshop and in Film Independent’s Director’s Lab and Fast Track Program.

These talented young women are working on a documentary regarding the Times Up Movement, what it means to them and for society as a whole. They are incredibly aware of the significance of the Times Up & Me Too movements, and have profound ideas on the topic. Keep an eye out for the documentary debut coming Spring 2020!
