His destination was Regent University, a renowned institution where he enrolled in a Master's degree program focused on Producing for Cinema-Television.
After completing his academic pursuits at Regent, Kenneth dedicated himself to honing his skills in the realm of freelance production, engaging in a wide variety of projects across multiple mediums, including corporate video, television, and independent film.
