Kevin Hicks - Writer/Director/Co-Executive Producer
Kevin started his career as a composer, writing everything from commercial jingles to full-length contemporary operas. His love for writing soon found him as a novelist in the mid-90s. In the late-90s, Kevin took his music and writing background and formed Hark Productions - an audio and video production company.

After taking on various roles of writer, director, editor & producer of numerous commercial, industrial and academia projects, Kevin came on as director of “Cayuga Lake Wine Country” – a program-length DVD for ELK Productions. A year and a half later, with more productions under his belt, he directed his first feature film, “Waiting On Alphie,” which he also wrote, for Diesel Movie Werks.

“Waiting On Alphie” combined all of Kevin’s past experience as a composer, writer, actor, editor, camera operator and visual artist. It was the experience of “Waiting On Alphie” that lead to the formation of Chinimble Lore, which now has two films out in distribution - "Dream House" and "Paranormal Proof."
