Biography

With an on-screen presence beyond her years, Kristen Kinder is fast-rising actress to watch in film, television, and related platforms.

Born January 19, 1982 (in Americus, GA), her first exposure to acting comes from plays and related performances in high school (Americus HS in Americus, GA) and her collegiate experience (Morris Brown College, Georgia Southwestern University, and Penn State University). Given her training via Divine Talentz Ministry (for improv and on-camera study) and the Premier Actors Network (for scene, improv, and on-camera study), she establishes her foundation for her work as an actress, writer, and director.

Outside of her work in film, her stage/theater credits include the productions I Believe (principal role/Divine Talentz), He Arose (principal role/Divine Talentz), Mickeys Celebration (understudy/Divine Talentz), Warfare (principal/Divine Talentz), and God is in Control (principal/Kinder Productions). Her work in new media includes serving as co-host of the broadcast/podcast series What's Happening Now (with KBCC Productions).

Her initial experience in film includes supporting roles in the films Routine (via Sankofa Productions) and Ivy HBLY (via Iramus Productions). Her work expands behind the camera as the director of the short film Behind the Scenes with Michael Givens (2020) and as the photographer (still) for The Driver (2020). Her writing experience includes the short film Grandma's House (in development).

After her work in the film Her Story (2019) and The Driver (2020), she is experiencing exponential growth and is a growing, sought-after presence. In 2021, she has four films either in development or shooting; they include Bizzaro (2021), Christmas Dejavu (2021), Christmas Hypnosis (2021), Honk for Jesus (2021), and Grandma's House (2021), nearly all of which she's playing a principal role.

Operating under the theme of "Never lose yourself trying to prove yourself", she continues to be a persistent, positive, and powerful presence in multiple aspects of film and theater.
