Director Biography - Kenneth Perkins

Born November 1982 in Augusta, Georgia. Grew up with a passion for Blockbuster trips to see that next great flick! Started screenwriting around 19 while serving in the Marine Corps. Attended college at Augusta State University. After marrying at 30, I started teaching Spanish at the High School level a few years later. Over the last several years, I have become heavily invested in indie filmmaking gear now that technology allows us to create at much cheaper prices. I desire to bring my scripts and stories to life through film.

Director Statement

Born with a passion for movies. Been writing screenplays since 19 but never thought directing was a possibility due to equipment prices. Over the last several years, I decided to start buying gear little by little and now I've finally amassed enough to start creating! At 38, I realize it's a little late in life to get started, but I'm full of stories I'd like to tell and here's hoping this will help me get them out there!
