Kenneth Yoder is an award winning Chicago based director, writer and performer who works in commercials, branded entertainment, television and film. To date, Yoder is credited on over thirty major studio motion pictures and network television series. In 2006, Yoder produced an independent comedy pilot called “Chicagoland” for executive producer Scott Thompson, of the comedy troupe Kids in the Hall. This experience encouraged him to write and direct his own pilot “Lowering The Bar” which would go on to win the 2009 Chicago Comedy TV Pilot Competition sponsored by the Illinois Film Office. As a performer and writer, Kenneth was trained at the Chicago institutions Second City, iO and The Annoyance Theater.
Currently, Yoder is directing commercials while simultaneously writing a new series “Camp” and cutting his teeth on writing his first feature film. “Kenneth is one of the most driven, talented, and passionate directors I’ve worked with. He somehow brings the best out of everyone around him all while staying humble and gracious. I’m lucky to have spent some time with Kenneth, his mind is a weird, strange place.” – Sara Martin, Producer.
