Since graduating from Seton Hall University and earning a Master's Degree in Television and Film from the Newhouse School at Syracuse University, Kevin McLaughlin has worked in commercials, features, broadcast, documentary, cable network, corporate, and educational television.

His credits include everything from elementary school science programs to "America’s Most Wanted" and "The Uncle Floyd Show." He continues to be involved in a wide variety of productions throughout New York and New Jersey. Kevin has been a department head on two landmark independent features, and is currently involved in developing several more. Kevin most recently served as Head Writer and Supervising Producer on "Where Health Works," a 5-part series created for PBS TV.

An accomplished editor, Kevin has written, produced, and directed over 300 programs, including 2 winners of the Gold Award from the International Television Association, and a Silver Medal winner at INTERCOM in Chicago. He is the author of the feature screenplays "Dreaming Out Loud," "The Finger," "Pinch Me!" (pinchme-themovie.com/) and "Brothers in the Ashes." The "Pinch Me!" script was honored as a winner of the Long Island Film Festival Screenplay Competition.

As a writer, Kevin is known for spinning funny, heartwarming tales featuring characters who seem remarkably like real people. His one-act play, "Andy & Eve (A Rock & Roll Comedy of Biblical Proportions)" played to tremendous audience response in its off-Broadway run in the Fall of 2002.

A former track star and member of a relay team that was ranked in the top 5 nationally, McLaughlin is still a devotee of rapid forward motion. Though no longer competing, he retains the work ethic, intensity, and dedication of a champion athlete.

On his first film, the self-financed short "Mosquito Man," McLaughlin served as writer, producer, director, and editor. The film played a number of festivals, and was an audience favorite at New York's Independent Feature Film Market.

McLaughlin is also the creator and producer of the TV show "Downtown Film Fest," featuring Adrienne Shelly, Ally Sheedy, and Gill Holland. The pilot was included in the Vail Film Festival, and the 1st Annual Independent TV Festival in Los Angeles.

McLaughlin's latest project is the feature-length documentary, now in production, "The Week that Changed the World," an examination of the Newark riots of 1967, and their long-term effects on the state of New Jersey.
