Kim Hoyos (she/her) is a Los Angeles–based and Jersey-born creative and storyteller with a focus on video production, digital strategy, and building inclusive communities. She is the founder of The Light Leaks, an online platform and community supporting women and nonbinary filmmakers.

As a queer Latina and first-generation immigrant, Kim is driven by a passion for expanding representation in media. Her knowledge of pop culture—combined with storytelling and informed by a community-first approach—shines through her translation of visual content for audiences. She has created video and social content for We All Grow Latina, Rolling Stone Magazine, mitú, The Mujerista, Aloe App, Adolescent Content, and more—using her creative skills to produce compelling, culturally resonant narratives.

Kim is equally dedicated to social impact through media. She was a digital strategist on MTV’s +1 the Vote campaign, which earned her a 2019 Shorty Award, and she continues that mission through her leadership of The Light Leaks and her past work with the Los Angeles LGBT Center. Her efforts consistently aim to amplify the voices of BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and underrepresented communities both on-screen and behind the camera.

With a multifaceted background that includes roles at MTV, NBC, GirlGaze, and Greenpoint Pictures, Kim brings versatility and heart to every project. Her work has been featured in People en Español, Urban Outfitters, Ms. Magazine, Amy Poehler's Smart Girls, BUST Magazine, and more.

After launching her career in New York City, Kim moved to Los Angeles to pursue branded storytelling and scripted television. In her own film and television writing, she explores the humor and tenderness of coming-of-age stories centered on female characters.

Kim is currently expanding The Light Leaks with a team of women and nonbinary creatives, and she’s developing original work for television and film.
