He is the nephew of Oscar-winning director Victor Fleming (Gone With the Wind, The Wizard of Oz). Kevin attended the prestigious boarding school, The Athenian School in the San Francisco Bay Area on a full scholarship and, following Francis Ford Coppola’s advice, went on to study drama, directing, and dramatic writing at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts as a National Merit and Dean’s Scholar. Recently he was selected as a fellow for the 2021 Latino Media Market with his co-creator Zoé Salicrup Junco for their Puerto Rican set crime-noir series, Blood Dimmed Tide. He worked at the NY Public Theater before founding his own theater company in Northern CA. In 2001 he was the Diablo Regional Arts Association's Artist of the Year and was named one of the 21 most influential people in the Bay Area, where he has been the Artistic Director of two professional theater companies and written four original plays and three musicals and directed more than thirty professional productions Regionally and Off-Broadway. Since 2008 he has been writing and working in film and tv full time, and in 2019 shot his feature film Generation Wrecks, co-written with his daughter, actress Victoria Leigh, which made its world premiere at Dances With Films in Hollywood in the summer of 2021. The film has earned invitations to The Catalina Film Festival, Coney Island Film Festival, Vail Film Festival, Jersey Shore Film Festival, Studio City International Film Festival, and The Florida Film Festival, where it won the Audience Award for narrative feature. His suspenseful ghost-story feature, Shadow Vaults, is hitting festivals in 2023. His baseball comedy, Slump Buster, is prepping to film in the autumn of 2023. He has a number of films and TV series in development. Much of his time is spent wrangling his sheepdog, Mabel.
