After spending years working in media education, new media and broadcast journalism on the East Coast, Kali decided to move to Los Angeles and delve head first into movie-making as a Directing Fellow at Chapman University, which allowed him to collaborate with Oscar-winning producer Cathy Schulman and shadow Emmy-winning director Millicent Shelton. He has since returned to the East Coast, upon finishing his first feature film Feel Like Ghosts. His award-winning short films have screened at film festivals at home and abroad, been exhibited in programs for domestic abuse education and at risk youth, and even premiered in Times Square. Kali is also a comic book writer and a pretty good basketball player if you catch him on a good day.
