Kenneth Kokin
Kenneth Kokin has been a producer for many first time feature directors. He is also sworn deputy in state of Georgia.
The debut feature film he produced for Bryan Singer, Public Access won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize. Ken Kokin and Singer developed a script with writer Christopher McQuarrie to produce the multi-Academy Award winning film The Usual Suspects which Kokin directed the substantial second-unit and co-produced. This achievement landed Kokin on the cover of Fade In Magazine as one of “The 100 People to Know in Hollywood”.
Kokin spent the next several years dividing his time between working with new film makers and developing a screenplay on the life of Alexander the Great, written with Peter Buchman and McQuarrie, for Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio. (Scorsese and DiCaprio chose to do The Aviator first, making way for Oliver Stone to produce his version of Alexander.)
Next, he produced and directed second-unit on McQuarrie’s directorial first feature, The Way of the Gun starring Juliette Lewis, Ryan Phillippe, James Caan and Oscar winner Benicio del Toro.
