About

Hi, I’m Mark McKennon. I run Kingart Pictures LLC, focusing on location management, scouting, and screenwriting for NYC-area shoots. Since 1995 I’ve partnered with producers, directors, DPs, and photographers on TV, film, spots, and photo projects for major networks and brands, arranging permits, police assistance, and production services across the NYC metro region. I’m committed to delivering creative, practical options for production challenges and helping projects move forward.

I write across diverse genres—from dystopian action and Western futures to rom-com fantasy—and I’m eager to produce, collaborate, and bring new stories to life. I’m passionate about telling entertaining, uplifting stories and helping what I write get made, while having fun and supporting others in their creative journeys.
