Kent premieres his enthralling conversation with Academy honored and industry legend, John Seale. He has seen furious roads and fantastical wizardry. He's photographed the jungles both natural and urban alike. He has worked with the cream of the crop, when it comes to gracing the director's chair. But with his credits speaking for themselves, I found the man behind the magic to be a true-blue bloke.
Enjoy...

What is Cinema Yūgen?
This is the show that keeps at its center, the simple love of cinema. While the multiplexes are filled with the bold and the big-budgeted , there exists beneath the mainstream, a whole other world. It is here you will find it. Cinema, driven purely by passion. A key ingredient vital to success in surviving the long road, from dreams...to silver screens.

I have worked as a screenwriter, journalist, author, publisher and podcaster. First published in the United States in 2013 by StrangeHouse Books, I went on to write numerous novellas and short stories published individually and in a variety of anthologies. Following the creation of the Straight to Video anthology series, I formed KHP, my own publishing house, and began writing for Podcasting Them Softly where I interviewed everyone from independents to Oscar winners, from Arnold Schwarzenegger’s stunt man to Nicolas Cage’s stand-in. I was film critic as well as crime and entertainment writer for The Daily Journal, and currently have films from filmmaker Rene Perez in release, including RIGHTEOUS BLOOD and THE VAMPIRE AND THE VIGILANTE; starring Michael Paré (STREETS OF FIRE, EDDIE AND THE CRUISERS). I also review indie cinema features, documentaries and shorts for FILM THREAT.
