FanGirling 4 Kevin Smith (With KJ)
In this episode of the FanGirlHour, I chat with my good friend, KJ, about how the movies & story-telling of Kevin Smith has been a life-long influence on his creative output and his overall outlook on life. He shares some of his most influential moments bonding with others over Kevin Smith films, including his wife & shares how this fandom has influenced his outreach for artists of many a variety.
KJ has been a theatre professional for much of his career, including as a youth drama teacher, lighting designer, technical director and stage manager. While at home in stage tech and leadership positions, he also enjoys performing. His other interests include writing poetry and playing hand drums in local bands and at church.
A former teacher, KJ has launched Artists Happy Hour in support of a new non-profit, Talent Pool, where our creative interests can develop through mentoring.
KJ supports Randall Theatre/Ghostlight Playhouse, Backyard Community Food Court, Rockafairy, and collaborates with the local independent film and stand-up comedy scenes.
None of this would be possible without the support of his wife and 2 kids, and a very talented group of close friends.
