About me:

"Kendall makes movies, and art, and music (and pies). He is strangely, unexpectedly sincere and kind, in a way that most people who spend their time among hip people seem to have forgotten how to be. He is genuinely funny, with his humor being fed by thoughtful observation and a vast knowledge of pop culture. He gives the impression of being comfortable in any surroundings, possibly due to the fact that his family relocated frequently in his youth. He has very clear, blue eyes (if you like that sort of thing), and he might be a music snob." - character sketch by Tracy Thomas



I make films that can be viewed on Vimeo.

I play in a band called the Koala Fires.
