Our Core Team
-
Kalyne began the KOPi room alongside her sister in 2019 in response to the growing need for high quality production support in an ever changing production landscape. Kalyne delivers creative and proactive ideas to the KOPi room, and has experienced a diverse range of roles within film production. She thrives on giving companies tools they need to evolve, but her true passion is to tell a story that can become a part of the cultural conversation.
Kalyne’s passion for filmmaking grew whilst receiving her BA at Bethune - Cookman University in Daytona Beach, FL. Over 10 years her passion grew. Her knowledge and abilities in all things production were strengthened in receiving her MFA at Regent University in Virginia Beach, VA. Unfazed by a challenge, Kalyne deftly moved between production management, having worked with both big and small budgets, on studio shoots, and on fast turn around content for digital platforms and advertisement productions for multiple TV broadcasters.

Olivia joined Kalyne in efforts to build the KOPi room in 2019. Olivia brings a rich and unique set of skills to the table. As the lead artist her responsibilities are to gather and present conceptual ideas, developing storyboards, thus executing graphic art that aids a film video. She received her BFA from Marist College, studying media production, illustration, and animation. She has a strong knowledge of both digital arts and production. The embodiment of adaptability and thinking on your feet, Olivia is happy to be deployed where needed, finding last-minute creative solutions to problems at hand.
