FILMMAKER BIO

Kevin Triplett grew up believing that all families had a hall closet filled with nothing but old photographs and cameras. His boyhood infatuation with Super8 filmmaking was crushed when his only source for film in rural east Texas closed. He became an electrical engineer until digital filmmaking became a reality in 1998. This is his first feature documentary project.
