Originally from the UK award-winning filmmaker, Gareth Kelly has had an unusual journey in becoming an above-the-line creative. After spending 10 years as a concrete truck driver, Kelly decided to pursue his lifelong passion for film and television. Along the way, he found himself covering the US 2016 Presidential election in Florida for various local, national, and international news organizations - BBC, Tampa Bay Biz Journal, Creative Loafing, as well as authoring his first book, 100 Things to do in San Luis Obispo Before you Die.

Returning to California, Kelly settled into a producer role with Director, [Andrew Davis] (The Fugitive) at his production company, Chicago Pacific Entertainment working on the critically acclaimed documentary, [Mentors - Tony & Santi (2024)].

2022 saw the world premiere of his award-winning first film [Fresh to Frightening - The Sharon Green story (2022)] at the 2022 Santa Barbara International Film Festival.

In 2023 Kelly worked closely with Davis and Warner Bros on the 30th anniversary and 4K remastering of [The Fugitive (1993)] as well as the 20th anniversary of [Holes (2003)] and the 45th anniversary of Davis's first film, [Stony Island (1978)] and its digital release with Freestyle Digital Media.

2023 also saw the release of Kelly's second film, [Locals Only - The Big, Little Pub (2023)] which won Best Short Documentary film at the 15th Burbank International Film Festival.

Continuing his development alongside Davis, Kelly has focused on forging professional relationships with filmmakers, writers, producers, financiers, and directors. He is producing, writing, and developing numerous projects of his own for both film and television.

Kelly is a former undocumented immigrant and remains an outspoken advocate for immigration reform, is a devout Manchester United fan, and is a lifelong yachtsman and qualified skipper.
