I began my career in Hollywood in television commercial production, starting in the camera department and learning from seasoned masters such as Caleb Deschanel and John Hora. I later co-founded the Kirby/Kiersch Film Group in Los Angeles with partner Terry Kirby, directing and producing advertising and corporate projects, and building a network that connected international producers and up‑and‑coming directors. Transitioning into feature film and academia, I directed the original Stephen King film Children of the Corn, and followed with Tuff Turf, which featured Robert Downey Jr. and James Spader early in their careers. I later became a Professor and Chairman of a university moving image arts department and continued to advise and lead programs at two additional universities while maintaining an active production slate, including projects like First & Female, Unsolved, Surveillance, and The Hunt. I’ve written and directed multiple docu-fiction and documentary projects and created long‑arc TV series bibles HoneyTrap, Proven, and Plus One, while staying engaged as a producer and creative producer on recent film work.…I began my career in Hollywood in television commercial production, starting in the camera department and learning from seasoned masters such as Caleb Deschanel and John Hora.
