Kirk McKenzie(I)

Kirk McKenzie's 20 plus years of improv theater means that when he teaches it, his lesson plans are non-existent. This fly-by-the-seat of your pants approach is great on set when unforeseen changes happen but in the preproduction phase Kirk is prepare, prepare, prepare. And there are few better to have in the planning and shooting of your movie. Having worked in almost every position on a set, he understands the grip lifestyle, he knows how to set a light and run 5 ought cable, he's in on a few of the sound departments tricks, he's whined as an actor. He has even applied make-up once. Once. You want awards and accolades? Sure he won the Rubber Ducky trophy in The On The Fly Olympics, his team held the spiked toaster for a year and half in the fruit fight theater, but is any of that really important? No, his dedication to putting the best damn story on screen is.
