Kenneth Kokin has been a producer and second unit director on many award winning films, the most notable being The Usual Suspects that took home two Academy Awards.  Since he was 14 years old he has been directing. It was the obvious career choice to become a professional filmmaker.  At the University of Colorado he went through their entire production program and upon completion he desired to further his motion picture education. He continued and graduated from the acclaimed University of Southern California Cinema Production program. Since graduating Kokin’s films have received distinguished recognition such as two Sundance awards, The Grand Jury Award and the Best International Drama Audience Award ("Pubic Access" and "Captain Abu Raed").  He also produced and directed second unit on the feature "The Way of the Gun" with the Oscar winners Benicio Del Toro and Christopher McQuarrie and Oscar Nominees Juliette Lewis and James Caan.

In 2006, an acquaintance of Kokin's was starting a shoe company. The business model was to give a pair of children's shoes in Argentina for those in need, matching every pair sold in the USA. It was the start of a massive movement in social entrepreneurship. The CEO/Founder Blake Mycoskie, of the company, credits Kokin’s movie as the most instrumental tool in the rapid growth of the TOMS Shoe company from 7,000 shoes the first year to over a million within the fifth.

Kokin has the privilege to add the four film festival awards from the Argentine Documentary "For Tomorrow: The TOMS Shoe Story" to his long list of awards received by his previous productions.
