Keith LaFountaine

Keith began his foray into the filmmaking world after watching The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. From the moment the credits started to roll, Keith knew what he wanted to do with his life.

In 2008, Keith made a five minute film for his middle school Capstone project. He made his own "Twilight Zone" episode wherein a bully is punished by a new kid with the power to make anyone say what he wants. The film won an Honorable Mention at the Vermont International Film Festival in 2008.

From there, Keith has continued to expand his knowledge and skills with film. He has made multiple short films, including Stalker in 2015: an eighteen minute film about a college student who discovers a presence from his dream is stalking him. The film won first place at the Lyndon State College Student Art Show, and has been shown at film festivals across the country - from Vermont to San Antonio, TX.

In 2016, Keith completed his first feature film - Departure - after investing $500 of his own money and relying on a handful of cast and crew. In the span of five months, Keith wrote, produced, directed, shot, acted in, and edited the film. Departure is currently in the festival circuit, and has earned three laurels thus far.
