The Team
Paul Kelly Kennedy
Creator | Produced By
Paul is a Director, writer, producer, and actor (IMDb) whose work bridges theater, film, and television. His stories fuse grounded, character-driven drama with bold, genre-bending ideas - reflecting a fascination with identity, morality, and the modern human condition.
A military veteran, Paul served five years as a U.S. Navy diver in the wake of 9/11. After leaving the service, he pursued dual passions in art and science, working as an aerospace engineer on NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope while training and performing as an actor. During that time, he honed his skills as a writer and storyteller, creating original screenplays and stage projects that fused his disciplined technical background with a deep creative drive-laying the foundation for a career in film and television.
Today, Paul writes, produces, and performs in original work, while continuing to contribute to the design of next-generation satellites - a career he is preparing to leave behind. A committed actor, he is a company member of Tim Robbins’ renowned Los Angeles theater ensemble, The Actors’ Gang, where he recently appeared in Topsy Turvy, written and directed by Robbins himself.
