The inspiration for writer-director Kevin Jordan's latest narrative film, Brooklyn Lobster, came from his own family's lobster shop in Sheepshead Bay, Brooklyn. The film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
Jordan started his career in front of the camera, acting in commercials
and hosting the award-winning PBS teen series In the Mix. He also appeared in the Disney movie Houseguest with Phil Hartman and Sinbad. Shifting his focus to
directing, Jordan attended New York
University's film school where he received the inaugural Martin Scorsese
Young Filmmaker Scholarship. Upon
graduation Jordan co-wrote, directed and produced the independent feature film Smiling Fish and Goat on Fire, which won the Discovery Award at the Toronto International Film Festival and was acquired for theatrical distribution by IDP.
