She was born in Alexandria, Louisiana, USA on February 17th, 1991. Kallie Swider is an eclectic mind working across many disciplines and media: she is an internationally published model, travel photographer, and award-winning documentary filmmaker and presenter whose films take an investigative approach. Her first short '8 Weeks to Happy' sees Swider delve deep into her own mental health with a DIY sensibility that oozes honest, lo-fi charm. Her understated combination of B-roll and vlog like video diary is simple yet refreshing and effective.
