From the time, at age 7, that he made his dad rent a video camera so he could make a short film, Keith had the <span><span><span><span>film-making</span></span></span></span> bug. After a lengthy and unfortunate stint of realistic thinking, Keith left the IT industry and returned to college to restart the long process of chasing his dreams.

Slightly Imperfect is the culminating work of his Master's degree education.
