ABOUT
“kyle was born in philly but grew up in germansville which is actually a place and he made a lot of hi8 skate videos and listened to a lot of ska which is what you're supposed to do as a teenager in a small town but made a fly-on-the-wall doc about his school which nearly got him expelled so he tried being a child actor and ron howard cast him in ‘a beautiful mind ‘but left him on the cutting room floor so he started directing his own stuff because what does ron howard know anyway and the whole music video thing exploded with everyone loving his films so he won a load of stuff and made his feature maybe next year about the philadelphia eagles winning the super bowl and he shot incredible spots for the nfl and linkedin and although he secretly likes watching other people play video games and was in a mariah carey movie we don’t care because his work is sublime and he really is a definite knucklehead.”
