Kevin Corey(II)
- Writer
- Director

Kevin was born in Nyack, New York. Film is more than a lifestyle for
Kevin, it's in his pedigree. Kevin's uncle on his mother's side has
been a Music Editor for both TV and film for over 30 years, working
with the likes of Guillermo del Toro and Clint Eastwood and
contributing to acclaimed shows like "Smallville" and "The Mentalist".
Kevin's early love of movies was apparent, especially his fascination
with horror films. He would spend days watching "Jaws" and "Nightmare
on Elm Street". Soon his admiration for Wes Craven and Stephen
Spielberg's horror staples turned into admiration for the men
themselves, especially Spielberg. Kevin found an appreciation for every
genre through the works of one director: Horror ("Jaws"), Sci-Fi
("Close Encounters of the Third Kind"), Drama ("The Color Purple"),
Comedy ("Hook"), Action-Adventure ("Jurassic Park") and Romance
("Always"). Soon Kevin gained the confidence that he, too, could turn
his passion for movies into a directing and producing career, and not
be pigeon-holed into a specific category. As Kevin grew older his taste
in film matured as well. Though still greatly influenced by Craven and
Spielberg, he now also cites Darren Aronofsky and Christopher Nolan as
major inspirations. Kevin made his directorial debut with the horror
short "Drip: Negative", closely followed by the short subject romantic
drama "How Much More". After a string of shorts Kevin decided to
venture into feature length productions. His feature length debut, a
horror film titled "Helper", which he also co-wrote, is set for release
in 2012. Also an actor, Kevin studied at Fisher College in Boston,
Weist-Barron-Hill Acting for Television & Film in Burbank,
Weist-Barron-Ryan Acting Workshops in Atlantic City and the Second City
Training Center in NYC. He appeared on the hit TV show "Sabrina, the
Teenage Witch".
