Kevin Frakes, Co-Founder and Co-CEO

Kevin Frakes created PalmStar Productions in 1999 when he began producing short films and videos in New York City.  In 2004, Kevin raised startup capital and formally co-founded PalmStar Entertainment. During the past seven years, PalmStar has produced four films through its production division, casted nearly two dozen films through its casting division and has built up a development slate of over a dozen projects which PalmStar is currently working to package and finance.

In 2007, Kevin spearheaded the first rights offering for PalmStar by arranging the sale of approximately 20% of the company to a series of investors and in doing so established a $7.33mm valuation for the company.  In 2010, Kevin co-founded PalmStar Media Capital with Peggy Taylor and a group of San Francisco Bay Area financiers.  PalmStar Media Capital is a specialty financial services company focused on motion picture production and distribution investments.

Kevin earned a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film and Television Production from NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts in 2001 and an MBA from Yale University in 2004.
