Occasionally, and for whatever reason, the people I work with are prone to say a few considerate words on my behalf. Unfortunately, I do not have quotes for what they may say when I’m not around.

“Working with Kelly Lynch is a dream. He’s a director who is confident, knows what he wants, yet is open to ideas and improvisations. He’s extremely passionate about the craft of filmmaking and it shows in how he works. As a director, he effectively instills a positive energy onto the set every day. It’s always a pleasure working with him.”

-Mike Bove
cinematographer, filmmaker

“His work shows perception and energy. His writings demonstrate his intentions to say something different, and his manipulation of words and sentence structure is obvious. His sustained concentration, intensity, and joy that he exhibits in his work is appreciated.”
            
-Diane White
instructor

“His images carry a strong feeling of a timeless man-machine relationship.”
-Center for Railroad Photography and Art

“Blessed with a keen intelligence and a delightful sense of humor, Kelly displays a strong work ethic in all situations. He is always prepared, accepts responsibility without pause, handles direction with ease, is ever cooperative, and his talents are boundless. One has always admired his determination to succeed, to improve, to grow.”
    
-Harvey Cocks
Executive Director
Fort Wayne Youtheatre

“Impressive integrity, energy, and professional attitude. Makes actors feel important and knows how to give clear direction.”
