Kaylee Kim is a 17-year-old filmmaker from Las Vegas, Nevada, born in Oakland, California. Her work is grounded in realism and guided by an intimate fascination with human emotion. Drawn to character-driven stories, she explores the quiet moments that reveal who people truly are- the pauses, the imperfections, the unspoken tension between what’s felt and what’s said. Kaylee’s films strive to capture the rawness of being young and uncertain in a world that often demands certainty. Her work has been recognized at the Los Angeles Independent Women’s Film Awards, a reflection of her growing voice in independent cinema. In the future, she hopes to create films that are deeply rooted in her personal experiences — reflections of memory, identity, and the search for meaning within everyday life.
