Kevin DeWalt (/blʌm/; is a Canadian film producer and is the founder, president and CEO of Minds Eye Entertainment, an independent Canadian production company.

Early life

DeWalt was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan in 1957. He studied music at the University of Regina. However, what began as a student's working holiday in Australia led him on an odyssey across many countries, and his passion shifted from music toward the power of moving images. He filmed his exotic and sometimes harrowing experiences on a shoestring budget as a personal document for family and friends; but seeing Richard Attenborough's epic movie Ghandi in Bombay inspired a growing desire to move people and have an impact on the way they think. The result was his first production, a touring multimedia travelogue of his adventures titled Namaste. This led to work producing corporate videos and to the formation of Minds Eye Entertainment.[1]

Career

DeWalt founded Minds Eye Entertainment on March 1st, 1986 in Regina, Saskatchewan which for several years was the biggest privately held film entertainment company in western Canada. As CEO and chairman of Minds Eye he has produced many award-winning films and television series, and he was a catalyst in the building of Regina's state-of-the-art Canada Saskatchewan Production Studios in 2002. He is a founding member of the Saskatchewan Motion Picture Association, and has served on the board of directors of SaskFilm and the National Screen Institute, and as vice-president of the International Quorum of Film and Video Producers.[2]

He has produced over 60 film and television projects. Spearheaded the development of a regional production company into the internationally recognized, vertically integrated organization with subsidiaries in production and international distribution. With DeWalt at the helm the company has received more than 50 national and international awards and exported projects sold to over 200 territories around the world.[3]
