Kevin Parks has been working in the Film Industry since 1987, when he walked into a production office, between semesters in the Film Program at Concordia University, wearing a suit, and asked for a Production Assistant job. The production coordinator took one look at him, and thought he's my guy!
Kevin worked his days as a PA, was accepted into membership of the Director's Guild of Canada, and began working in the Assistant Director department, initially as a Trainee in 1991 on an HBO TV movie "Comrades of Summer", starring Joe Montagna. He worked with a fantastic team of ADs, who brought him along on a variety of productions.
Kevin worked his way up to 3rd AD, on many TV movies for Pacific Motion Pictures. One of the AD teams there took him to work on the Philip Borsos feature film, " The Adventures of Yellow Dog". It was during this production that Kevin had the opportunity to not only be the 3rd AD but also try his hand as the 2nd and 1st AD.
This experience segued into an opportunity to be the 1st AD on a 2nd Unit on the TV series "The X-Files". This is where preparation meets opportunity, and was a life-changing situation. Kevin never looked back, and subsequently worked as the 1st AD on a variety of productions, such as the Feature "Agent Cody Banks", the TV movies "Don't Look Down", " Hayley Wagner Star", and predominately TV series such as "The X- Files", " The Chris Isaak Show", "Millennium", and "Andromeda".
Kevin has been working on the TV series "Supernatural" since its move to British Columbia after the pilot episode. He is one of the few who has been there for all 15 seasons as the series' recurring 1st AD and directed an episode in seasons 8 & 9, that became one of their top-rated episodes. He was also credited as a co-producer for the series' final season.
