Director Kevin Isaacson is an avid story teller and go-getter. He decided in July 2017 to stop waiting for others to make his films and decided to make them himself, including his directorial debut “Oliver Short,” filmed in the great state of Iowa. He started his own production company with his closest film friends called I Like Ike Films LLC. He is a 2015 Quarterfinalist in the Page International Screenwriting Awards based in Los Angeles and he is currently in pre-production for his feature-length action film “Run.” His story is truly inspiring for anyone who wants to get out there and make their own content.
