Kevin T. Morales is a Latino filmmaker and a California native who currently resides in Brooklyn with his wife and two children. He is the nephew of Oscar-winning director Victor Fleming, known for classics such as *Gone With the Wind* and *The Wizard of Oz*. Kevin attended the prestigious Athenian School in the San Francisco Bay Area on a full scholarship. Following the advice of Francis Ford Coppola, he pursued studies in drama, directing, and dramatic writing at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where he was recognized as a National Merit Scholar and Dean’s Scholar. He is set to receive his MFA in Screenwriting from the University of California in Spring 2026. He has sold and optioned screenplays to producers and studios like Netflix.

In 2021, Kevin was selected as a fellow for the Latino Media Market along with his co-creator Zoé Salicrup Junco for their Puerto Rican-set crime-noir series, *Blood Dimmed Tide*. Prior to his work in film and television, he worked at the NY Public Theater and later founded his own theater company in Northern California. In 2001, he was honored as the Artist of the Year by the Diablo Regional Arts Association and was named one of the 21 most influential people in the Bay Area. He has served as the Artistic Director of two professional theater companies, written four original plays, and three musicals, and directed over thirty professional productions both regionally and Off-Broadway.

Since 2008, he has been fully dedicated to writing and working in film and television. In 2019, he co-wrote the feature film *Generation Wrecks* with his daughter, actress Victoria Leigh. The film premiered at the Dances With Films festival in Hollywood during the summer of 2021 and has been invited to several other festivals, including 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 Best Narrative Feature.

His upcoming feature, *Ghost Stories for Close Friends in Dark Times*, is expected to be released in 2026/2027. Kevin also has several films and TV series currently in development, and his debut novel is on submission. Much of his time is spent wrangling his sheepdog, Mabel.
