BIO

Born in Chicago on March 2, 1983 and raised in
Marietta, Georgia, Kevin Keegan developed a love for filmmaking while
growing up. Frequent production of short films occurred while at the
side of his older brother Jeffrey. This interest blossomed after high
school as he decided to attend Chattahoochee Technical College where he
received his Applied Associates Technical Degree in Entertainment
Technology. He has since honed his talents in various production
environments resulting in a vast array of professional skills in the
areas of video production, editing, and graphic design/2D animation; a
true jack of all trades.

His most
recent work includes projects involving a motor sport called
“drifting,” a subjectively judged competition in which two cars slide
sideways around a course in a high energy automotive ballet, while the
trailing car tries to mimic the lead vehicles every movement. He has
teamed up with a local speed shop, "Batlground Engineering," based out of Smyrna, Georgia, to promote their drift team via DVD's, t-shirt designs, and other promotional media.

He is constantly looking for a new outlet for his creativity as well as new experiences in which to grow and learn.
