Kellen Gibbs

Kellen William Gibbs was born in Palo Alto, California and grew up in the Monterey County. His first foray into filmmaking began with a stop-motion Lego short when he was nine years old, and from then on, life in the Gibbs household would never be the same. In his teen years, Kellen moved to Pacific Grove, California where he enlisted friends, family and peers to appear in fan films that set fire to YouTube. With the emergence of his own unique creative voice propelling his work forward, Kellen then began writing and directing original material that gained entrance into festivals and distribution along different outlets online. It was in 2013 that Kellen left Pacific Grove to attend film school in Los Angeles where he was able to craft his skills as a filmmaker and extend his education. After two years of film school, he created an extensive portfolio including fan films ranging from ten to ninety minutes in length, multiple original short films, and a two-season web series with over four hours of content. Kellen Gibbs graduated from the New York Film Academy in September, 2015, and lives in Los Angeles, California.
