About Ken

Much of my background is as a Location Manager/Scout on large scale projects such as BASS REEVES (the latest unreleased show in the Taylor Sheridan universe), FEAR THE WALKING DEAD, FRIDAY NIGHT LIGHTS, and many more features, TV series, and commercials. When I’m not finding the most cinematic ranches, the best spots to kill zombies, or win the big game, I work as a screenwriter, director, producer, or some combination of those positions on smaller film projects.
