Keith Alan Morris was born in South Bend, Indiana on October 9, 1972. Keith honed his skills as an independent filmmaker in New York City. He has been a brand strategist, digital media specialist, and college professor. After his latest movie Gutter King got distribution then went viral and reached over 3.2 million torrents online, he is working on a live-action/CG animated feature set in a futuristic New Orleans.

His most notable films include Gutter King, Flying Tiger and The Clinic, all of which screened at the Cannes Film Fest market and offered distribution. He also wrote and directed the documentary R.U.B.s in the Guggenheim Museum's "Art of the Motorcycle" exhibit.

Gutter King was his first breakthrough feature internationally and nominated for 3 awards in 2010. It has been compared to the early films of Martin Scorsese in that "the violence is dealt with extreme care and respect, as opposed to the superficiality with which we are used to seeing from directors like Guy Ritchie, Danny Boyle or David Fincher." The film later reached #159 on IMDB's MOVIEmeter rankings in June 2010, behind Zombieland but ahead of Back to The Future.

Other work: "Flying Tiger" is a family film about a lowly artifact hunter on the quest for the first flying human in history. It screened at the Cannes Film Fest market. Morris' dark comedy "The Clinic," about an underground treatment center for the brokenhearted, won Best Screenplay for a Feature Film (out of 180 films) at the NY International Independent Film Fest. Both films had distribution offers at the Cannes Film Fest that far outweighed the production costs of the films.

Morris was born Keith Alan Morris in South Bend, Indiana, the son of Ronald and Susan Morris. He grew up in Indiana where he attended Adams High School and Niles First Assembly High School in Niles, MI, where he was Salutatorian. He won a scholarship to Kalamazoo College to study Political Science and Theater Communications where he made numerous short films and two feature films, The Outside Man and The In Crowd, which won him the Cooper Award and Schneider Prize.

Morris began filmscout.org in 2004, a non-profit that donates a significant portion of the profits of his films to charity. His wife Kendra is his fellow producer and is filmmaker of the documentary "Missionary Kid," about children with AIDS in Africa.

Today&#39;s filmmakers have about a 5 years headstart before everyone else
catches up and makes competitive work. That is, in 2010, everyone will
truly be a filmmaker, not just call themselves one.

The new economy of filmmaking will begin a new renaissance in American
filmmaking.

Here&#39;s your money burning a hole in your pocket when you&#39;re shooting
film: 40 dollars...80 dollars...120 dollars.... Shoot HD instead.

Have a large skill set. You&#39;ll always be in demand.
