Born and raised in Bermuda, Kalilah attended Stanford University where she studied Psychology and Film Studies. A growing interest in the film industry led her to a film production course in Los Angeles where her love of the motion picture camera was born.

In the years following, Robinson worked as a freelance filmmaker on numerous projects ranging from music videos, web series, reality TV, documentaries and narrative feature films. In the fall of 2010, Robinson founded Somers Isle Productions, an independent production company dedicated to the development of film and television projects about Bermuda’s rich cultural heritage.

In 2016 Kalilah graduated from The American Film Institute’s cinematography masters program. Currently based out of Los Angeles, CA Robinson continues to freelance as a cinematographer and producer.
