Biography

Kimberly Warner is a film director and producer based in Oregon who has written, shot, directed and edited award-winning narrative films and corporate and non-profit brand videos for over a decade.

In 2015, Kimberly developed Mal de Débarquement Syndrome, an incurable neurological disorder that manifests as a feeling of constant rocking, bobbing or swaying. As months turned to years, her sense of self dissipated as her relationship to her body, her career and her community faded.

After years of isolation and desperately chasing a fix, Kimberly founded Unfixed Media Productions in 2019 to share stories of those living with chronic or rare conditions and how adversity can complete us and broaden our definition of what it means to live a "good life."

The inevitable peaks and valleys of living with an incurable, chronic condition are part of an expanding Unfixed portfolio that currently includes a docu-series, multiple mini-series, a podcast, round-table webcast, and feature documentary film all in production.

Unfixed Media Productions has led to Kimberly's larger advocacy role within the chronic illness community where, alongside directing and producing media, she writes and speaks about her own patient experiences and how healing can exist even when our bodies can't be cured. She is a member of the PPAA (Patient and Physician Advocacy Alliance), helped create a Course for Clinical Confidence - a medical school certificate course - and is on the editorial board of the Journal of Health Design. She is also the 2020 recipient of the Invisible Disabilities Association's Media Impact Award.
