Kalim Armstrong is a filmmaker based between Brooklyn, NY and the Catskill mountains. Kalim's passion for storytelling stems from an idea that a better understanding of the lives of others can contribute in some small way to making the world a better place. His work has taken him to the mountains of Norway with soldiers training for winter warfare survival, across Europe filming rock and roll tour documentaries with living legends, directing projects with elite athletes, as well as creating quiet portraits of homeless communities living on the fringe of society.
Kalim was raised in the Seacoast of New Hampshire and earned his MFA from Hunter College and BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in photography. He is a recipient of the Princess Grace Film Honraria for the documentary In the Woods and from the Brooklyn Arts Council for the award winning Pass it On Project about the Civil Rights Movement. He has taught in the Film & Media department at Hunter College, as an associate professor at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and as a workshop instructor at DCTV.
Kalim Armstrong is a co-founder of Vacationland Studio - www.vacationlandstudio.com - a Brooklyn Based video production company.
