DIRECTOR & CHOREOGRAPHER

Tancharoen's feature film directing debut is the upcoming Fame, a modern retelling of the iconic performing arts drama. The film stars veteran performers Debbie Allen, Bebe Neuwirth, Megan Mullally and Kelsey Grammer alongside some of Hollywood's best and brightest new faces. With his extensive background in music, Tancharoen also had a hand in the film's soundtrack, on which he received an executive producer credit. Fame (2009) is scheduled for release by MGM and Lakeshore Pictures on September 25, 2009.

Passionate about film even as a young boy, Tancharoen began going to the movies with his parents at age 4. By the sixth grade, he was writing papers about the films of influences like Robert C. Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino. Even at that young age, Kevin found himself focused on the creative and technical aspects of filmmaking, enjoying the "making of" and "behind the scenes" featurettes as much as the actual films. This led him to explore the creation of special effects, enrolling in a creature mold-making class side by side with people twice his age. Dabbling in the world of digital effects and surrounded by aspiring musicians, Tancharoen found himself drawn to shooting and editing their music videos.

Simultaneously, Tancharoen explored his own talent as a performer, by joining the dance company led by world-renowned choreographer, 'Wade Robson'. Tancharoen himself moved to choreography, quickly catching the eye of superstar artists like Britney Spears and *NSYNC, and getting the opportunity to work with both.

His varied experience in dance, music and as a seasoned film buff allowed Tancharoen to undertake remixing projects for musical performances and specials. His remix work includes pieces for 'Christina Aguilera', Jessica Simpson, and Tyrese Gibson.

Tancharoen's next project, Arcana (2011), for Universal Pictures, will infuse elements from his many influences -- from comic books to genre films to dancing to martial arts.
