Ken Lambert

Director, TWC Films

When Ken was very young, his grandmother gave him a glimpse of his future, saying, “When you grow up you will become an artist, and when you die we’ll be rich!” This vivid memory colored the decision to choose design over sculpture and painting, which had been his passion up until the moment it came to choose a viable career path.

As a designer Ken was recognized early on, and was recruited to work in California. There, he discovered the films of Charles Eames and Stanley Kubrick. “The mind of a designer crafting time and space delivered me into broadcast design, where I found a passion for simplicity and direction,” he says. “My love of filmmaking grew stronger as more opportunities presented themselves, an approach emerged which is a blend of idea, style and performance.”

In short, Ken is a commercial filmmaker who brings together performance, narrative and a strong visual style that is coloured by a heritage in art and design. Ken puts it best: “For ease of use some may want to pigeonhole me in the visual genre and that’s fine, but my intention remains true, which is to bring an engaging mind to everything I do.”

Ken’s spot credits include: Vancouver Winter Olympic Games “Ice”, KFC “Krushers”, and Coke “Happy Mouths”. TWC Films is Ken’s first commercial production roost in the US.
