Kevin Ackley, Founding Member, Filmmaker
Kevin Ackley is a filmmaker from Fargo, ND. After attending film school at Minnesota State University Moorhead, he formed Chamber Six Media with Oscar De Leon as a way to feed their desire to create. Through their collaborations, they have made an array of short films and documentaries with many accompanying festival selections and awards.
Ackley draws inspiration from a variety of filmmakers of different genres, but tends to be the most drawn to filmmakers of the grounded yet bizarre, such as David Lynch and Darren Aronofsky.
Currently, Kevin is hard at work on his next directorial venture, an ambitious prosthetic-centered surreal short film, shot and edited by fellow NDFS members Oscar De Leon and Andrew Leines, respectively.
