Kevin Willmott’s journey as an independent filmmaker is an improbable success story. He was born on the 31 August 1958 in Junction City, Kansas, a small city of a little more than 20,000 residents some ninety miles west of the university town of Lawrence and 125 miles from Kansas City, Missouri. He earned his BA in drama from Marymount College in nearby Salina, then an MFA in dramatic writing from New York University. Willmott is a multi-hyphenate—a writer, producer, director, and sometimes actor—who now is in his third decade as an independent moviemaker with major creative credits on fifteen films and counting.

凯文·威尔莫特（Kevin Willmott）作为独立电影制片人的旅程是一个不可能的成功故事。他于1958年8月31日出生在堪萨斯州的章克申市（Junction City），这是一个小镇，位于劳伦斯大学城以西约90英里处，距离密苏里州的堪萨斯市仅125英里，居民人数略多于20,000。他在附近的萨利纳（Salina）的玛丽蒙特学院（Marymount College）获得戏剧学士学位，然后在纽约大学（New York University）获得戏剧文学硕士学位。威尔莫特（Willmott）是一位多连字符的作家，制片人，导演，有时甚至是演员。他已经是独立电影制片人的第三个十年，主要创作15部电影，并且在数量上有很多贡献。
