Kevin Ke (pronounced ‘Kerr’) was born in Shanghai. After obtaining a Bachelor of Law degree from FuDan University, he got himself into big trouble by masterminding and producing an Asian version of the Statue of Liberty (Goddess of Democracy) in Tiananmen Square during the height of student uprising in 1989.
  After ducking bullets during the Tiananmen Massacre, he left China and studied Government and Asian Studies at UC Berkeley (M.A.), political science at Univ. of Toronto (M.A.), documentary filmmaking at National Film Board of Canada, screenwriting & directing at USC School of Cinema & Television, and film production at the NYU Grad Program. His award-winning hour-long documentary on Asian American filmmakers at cultural crossroads “When East Meets EAST” (co-directed w/ Canadian Academy Award winner) has been screened around the world, including the Asian American International Festival. The film received a Best Art Doc nomination in Canada and was sold to Bravo.
  Kevin’s previous music/performance art documentary “Song and Cry” was sold to CNN International and was aired on March 1997. His labor of love project—the newsroom drama “The Official Account”, which he called “Network”/“Broadcast News” on the eve of “The Killing Field” (Tiananmen Massacre) won the 1999 DGA Best Asian-American Student Filmmaker Award. It received extensive press coverage, including Fox News, CNNI, ABC and GQ Magazine. A project Kevin co-scripted about Holocaust survivors who crossed Siberia and found sanctuary in war-torn open city Shanghai is in development with Shanghai Film Studio. Kevin was recently invited to Pusan to develop this feature. He owes his luck to “the kindess of strangers.”
