“Kymberly’s work is done in a way that so far should be a shining example. So brilliantly done and her concept was more than memorable. It’s an innovation - so new, so fresh, so alive. It’s heartfelt and beautiful. This is work of real passion and it’s personal and I love it.”

This is the first film I directed. I adapted the screenplay from a short play I wrote. I witnessed more levels of homelessness than I had when I moved to NYC from Chicago, and felt devastated by it. Now in LA, it’s even worse here. We felt motivated to go into the downtown LA community and get to know these individuals, to film as authentically as we could. This film also considers the metaphorical homelessness of being an artist.

In a visual and sonic love letter to filmmaking, NOW AND NEVER’s ever-changing aspect ratios and color palette help navigate the fractured, claustrophobic mind of Harriet, a woman in the midst of an anxiety attack, as she is visited by the embodiment of the voices in her head.
In an effort to outrun their taunting and depression, Harriet digs into her ancestral memory to banish their influence, realizing she must be present in order to awaken to win priority in her own life.

A young woman named Faith is admitted to a clinic where she meets other young adults struggling to cope with emotional and psychological issues.
Despite class, education, or circumstance, every one of us has been effected by addiction one way or another. In my work with young adults in recovery, I discovered some inspiring truths and insights, that have influenced my art and my consciousness about the human condition. This stellar DP and cast helped me and give voice to such stories.
