KYLE HOLLETT
EXECUTIVE PRODUCER

Kyle founded The Herd Films along with Director Lloyd Lee Choi in 2012, based on their shared love of adventurous filmmaking, hard work, and a respectful production environment. He has since produced commercials and music videos for a wide range of clients both at home in Vancouver, Canada as well as abroad in the US, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. While the company has grown, he has never shied away from getting his hands dirty and pitching in at every level to see a project through to completion. He feels at home on large scale productions but also enjoys being part of a small team where he’s known for wearing multiple hats, including Post Producer, Editor and Sound Mixer. His accolades include a Silver Cannes Lions for the branded short “Cornetto - 40 Love,” and The Herd’s viral “Chevy - Maddie” commercial.

Kyle brings his talent for team management and finding creative solutions to every production and enjoys working alongside other industry professionals who share his commitment to the values on which the company was founded.
