Kyle is a director and writer with a cinematic eye and a sharp instinct for story. He cut his teeth at American Zoetrope and The Directors Bureau, and later honed his craft at the AFI Conservatory, where his thesis work was recognized by both BAFTA and the Television Academy. He moves fluidly between genres and formats — writing for others, directing his own work, and shaping ideas that land with clarity and intent. His work balances structure and specificity — sharp in form, rich in detail. When not working in LA, he’s usually in Tokyo, his home away from home.
