Particulars

Kevin Lin
Director (of sorts)

Born in China, raised in Northern California, and having spent the latter half of his life in Los Angeles, Kevin Lin has been a music video and commercial director for over a decade.

He genuinely believes in his heart of hearts that he can become, statistically-speaking, the most improbable thing you can be in this industry: A feature film writer-director.

His hope is that his passion and creative ambitions will resonate with audiences and keep him from having to work in construction.

You can find him on:
