ROY KIMHI BIO
Roy Kimhi, a dedicated Impact Producer and Filmmaker, thrives at the intersection of non-profits and media, boasting over nine years of experience collaborating with NGOs and media production companies worldwide.
​
At the age of 15, Kimhi's profound love for nature, especially the oceans, was sparked during his explorations along the captivating coasts of the Sinai Peninsula and the Red Sea. His journey into the realm of underwater photography and videography began here, blossoming into a profession as he later became a certified diving instructor, a submersible pilot, and an underwater specialist. Kimhi's expertise spans across various marine ecosystems, including the Red Sea, Indian Ocean, Yucatan underwater caves (cenotes), Pacific Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, Caribbean Sea, and the Indian Ocean.
With certificates from Harvard Business School (HBX) in Sustainable Business Strategies and Entrepreneurship, as well as a BA in Business and Communications from the Open University of Israel, Roy Kimhi is also certified as a SEAmagine Manned Submersible Pilot and holds a CAPM® Project Manager certification from the Project Management Institute.
Between 2014 and 2017, Kimhi served as a Submersible Pilot with the "Undersea Hunter" fleet in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, focusing predominantly on Coco's Island (Costa Rica). In this capacity, he oversaw submersible operations at sea and played a significant role in sales, marketing, and media activities.
In 2015 and 2016, he collaborated with National Geographic's "Pristine Seas" project, participating in expeditions to several remote destinations, including the Galápagos Islands (Ecuador), Revillagigedo Archipelago (Socorro Islands), and the Sea of Cortez (Mexico).
In 2017-2018, Kimhi directed and produced the award-winning VR film "The Great," offering an immersive 360-degree experience with great white sharks off Guadalupe Island (Mexico).
During that time, Kimhi served as the Liveaboard Director of the Pelagic (Pacific) Fleet in Baja, California, and as the Project Manager of the SPOC Operation (Self Propelled Ocean Cage) for diving with great whites.
​
In 2019, he founded One Atmosphere Impact Productions, an impact-media production company based in Israel, and began collaborating as a VR Director and Producer with Amberjack Films.
Kimhi's commitment to environmental advocacy led him to participate in the EcoPeace Water Diplomacy program 2019 and eventually spearhead the program in the following year.
From 2021 to 2024, as the Regional Program Lead for Climate & Water Diplomacy, Kimhi played a pivotal role in fostering cooperative efforts among Palestinians, Israelis, and Jordanians to address climate and environmental challenges. His leadership facilitated the establishment of a regional network for future collaborative projects with EcoPeace Middle East.
Kimhi's impactful environmental work integrates art, film, and extensive experience collaborating with renowned organizations such as National Geographic "Pristine Seas," "Sharks Alive," and "The Green Blue Deal," among others.
