Making Your Passion Project A Reality!
Are you ready to take your film career to new heights?
Why Choose KDC and Films? Unlike many consultants in this field, we are actively engaged in the business of filmmaking. We are a full service production company experienced in all aspects of the creative and business process. Along with producing our own projects, we also partner on projects with other production entities, and have offered our consulting services for a decade now.
President of KDC Films, Kerry David, brings over two decades of invaluable experience to her clients. Kerry's had the privilege of working alongside such legends in film as, Nicole Kidman, Tom Cruise, Drew Barrymore, Mira Sorvino, Cole Hauser, Barry Pepper, and on grand scale sets such as Stanley Kubrick's, "Eyes Wide Shut" and Nicole's "Practical Magic". She developed & executive produced her own project, Agent Cody Banks, and produced a tiny $1,100 documentary that licensed for $650,000 and garnered a world wild theatrical release (My Date with Drew). Her extensive history, both inside the studio system and the independent realm, uniquely qualifies her to work with every level of filmmaker.
She is the soul of discretion, which is why many clients book her to be "on call" during their own productions. "We all need someone to reach out to during the process, if only to bounce ideas off, mentor, or allay fears. The confidentiality factor can be comforting, especially for established professionals."
Whether you are at the dreaming stage of becoming a filmmaker, or you're a weekend warrior, film and media student, or graduated already, you qualify! We've worked with new and emerging creatives to established, working professionals, global icons, and successful media companies. There's very little we haven't experienced or witnessed ourselves and therefore we completely understand the pressure filmmakers are under in today's ever changing climate.
Take comfort in knowing your consulting needs will be met, because they have probably been experienced!

Visiting Filmmaker
Covid threw many industries into a tailspin, and the entertainment industry wasn't spared. During the pandemic, Kerry's services were in high demand as a "visiting filmmaker" over Zoom classes. Students working from home were treated to a "visiting filmmaker" where their own projects were the point of discussion. These online sessions were fun, informative, interactive and on-point. Kerry's warm and encouraging manner ensured that each filmmaker's journey was validated and their concerns addressed. Creating time in her schedule to ensure these opportunities continue post-pandemic is a priority.
