Kim "Kimmie P" Callaway hails from Houston, TX where she attended various public arts magnet schools for theater and piano, including the prestigious High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. Beyonce also went there, not to brag or anything.
Kim then spent 7 glorious/notorious years in New Orleans, LA, obtaining a degree in television production & theatre from Loyola University, bartending, and collecting a wealth of fodder for her writing. Against all odds, she graduated magna cum laude.
She is a 4x Telly-winning director, 2023 Screencraft Screenplay Fellowship Finalist, and part of the Emmy-winning team behind Park Bench with Steve Buscemi.
She has created original series, comedy sketches, music videos, commercials and custom content for major networks and brands, including FOX, Amazon, Discovery, MTV, AOL, Huffington Post, The Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences, Verizon, Target, Ring, JEEP and more.
Kim founded the boutique video production company Pillowfight!! Productions in 2017 with a focus on commercials, music videos, and branded content. We all need money.
When she's not filmmaking, Kim enjoys reading, snowboarding, playing Texas Hold'Em, and inventing toys & games for children. She was a top 4 Finalist on ABC's The Toy Box, a toy inventing competition show, in 2017.
She married Director/Cinematographer Calvin Callaway in 2018 and is the proud mother to 2 beautiful human children and 1 very talented pug. They are all New Orleans Saints fans.
