Artist's Statement
Since 2005, my work has centered on Production Design and work within the art department of short films and television work. In the art department, I am never sure what the next job will hold, but I am always pushed in a direction that I never intended to go. What other field would one research and build a newsroom one day and the next, a 17th Century Sailing Ship. My work is all about creating a world for the character of the piece I am working on, to exist in. Every aspect of filmmaking is just like a piece of a puzzle. Without the art department, the characters would have no place to live. I am so very grateful that I majored in Cinematography at Watkins. I am constantly talking to the Cinematographer about the use of light in the space. Film is a totally collaborative effort and my work coexists with the other departments to tell a story and help the viewer escape their world if only for an hour at a time and be transported in time, on ship, or behind the scenes of a live sketch-comedy show.

Biography
After graduating Watkins, Kendall went on to graduate from the Los Angeles Film School with a concentration in Production Design. Soon after, he worked on commercials and interned on "Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip" before being hired as a P.A. on the same show. Quickly after, he was hired as an Art Department Coordinator on the NBC show "Journeyman". Kendall is now working on a pilot for an ABC show entitled "Captain Cooks Extraordinary Atlas". This fall he will move up again in the industry when he joins Local 800 as an Assistant Art Director. Kendall plans on continuing his career in television and maybe one day making the leap to the big screen.
