Writer/Producer

Kevin Cleary has perhaps the most important quality for the creation of authentic art – firsthand passion.

Even Ken Burns would have to concede that someone who lived through the battlefields of the Civil War would have a storytelling advantage over even the gifted purveyors of award-winning documentaries. For more than a half century, Cleary, 58, has lived the lifestyle he hopes to capture in a beach volleyball documentary targeted for release some time in 2018.
