Kevin Kavanaugh
He recently made his debut as a production designer on Drew Barrymore’s first feature film as a director, “Whip It.”
He was raised in Southern California and graduated from San Francisco State University with a Bachelor of Arts degree. He first became interested in film design while working part time during college at American Zoetrope studios during the making of “The Godfather: Part III” and “Bram Stoker’s Dracula.” Francis Ford Coppola’s production designer on those films, Tom Sanders, offered Kavanaugh his first art department job on the film “Maverick,” marking the beginning of a long collaboration during which Kavanaugh rose from art department coordinator to assistant art director on “Saving Private Ryan,” and to art director on the films “Mission Impossible II,” “We Were Soldiers” and, most recently, “Eagle Eye.”
Kavanaugh has also worked as art director on several occasions with production designer Nathan Crowley: on Christopher Nolan’s “The Dark Knight” and “The Prestige,” and on “The Lake House.” Kavanaugh’s other credits include “Transformers,” “Mission Impossible III,” “Must Love Dogs,” “8 Mile,” “Clockstoppers” and “The Fast and the Furious.”
