FOUNDER | DIRECTOR | PRODUCER

Kimberly Warner is a filmmaker, writer, and founder of Unfixed Media, a storytelling platform dedicated to exploring the creative and emotional dimensions of life with chronic illness and disability.

After developing a rare neurological disorder in 2015, Kimberly turned her artistic focus inward, embracing stillness, intimacy, and relationship as the foundation of her work. In 2019, she launched Unfixed, a media project that now includes award-winning films, limited series, podcasts, memoirs, and live roundtables. Her work has been recognized by PBS, Harvard Medical School, and the Invisible Disabilities Association, among others.

Kimberly leads a larger advocacy role within the chronic illness community where she writes and speaks about her own patient experience. She is a member of the Global Advocacy Alliance, the PPAA (Patient and Physician Advocacy Alliance,) is a visiting faculty member with Global Genes, helped create a Course for Clinical Confidence—a medical school certificate course, is on the editorial board of the Journal of Health Design and is an ambassador for VeDA. She is also the recipient of Life on the Level’s Best International Contribution Award, Rainbow Advocacy’s Most Innovate Storytelling Award, and Invisible Disabilities Association’s Media Impact Award.

Her forthcoming memoir, Unfixed: A Memoir of Family, Mystery, and the Currents That Carry You Home, will be published by Empress Editions in October 2025.

She lives in rural Oregon with her husband, David, where they tend their small farm between creative projects. When she’s not editing films, harvesting calendula, or writing for her beloved Substack audience, she’s practicing what she preaches: loosening her grip, staying curious, and letting uncertainty become a place of peace.
