Kwyn Bader is a multiple award-winning filmmaker, screenwriter and journalist whose work explores issues of race, historical protest and cultural integration from the unique vantage point of his bi-racial background and multi-cultural upbringing.

His most recent project was the Emmy-nominated PBS documentary Birth of a Movement which tells the story of an early civil rights activist's battle against D.W. Griffith's technically groundbreaking but notoriously racist Hollywood film The Birth of a Nation.

He is also the writer and director of the SXSW Film Festival Winner for Best Feature Film, Loving Jezebel, recognized by the New York Times as "a sign of the future in film" for its treatment of race that "deserved notice because race isn't an issue, though it's protagonist has an African-American mother and white father and falls for girls of varied racial backgrounds."

He is the screenwriter of the Ossie Davis narrated documentary film Tuskegee Airmen: American Heroes, a history of America's first Black fighter pilots, and has written feature and TV screenplays for Hollywood studios including Paramount Pictures, Fox Searchlight and USA TV.

Kwyn served as the story consultant on the Sundance Film Festival Winner for Best Feature Documentary, Alive Inside, which explored the phenomenal ability of music to restore memory to victims of Alzheimer's, and he wrote the animated social action campaign film 60 Million to support the theatrical release of Participant Media's documentary, He Named Me Malala which tells the life story of Pakistani female activist and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai.

He is also a successful creative executive who serves as the Senior Global Director of Creative Strategy for ViacomCBS Consumer Products, helping translate shows and movies from iconic brands Nickelodeon, Comedy Central and Paramount into products sold all over the world.
