"Life is what happens to you when you’re busy making other plans." - John Lennon
Everybody Loves... Reinvention. DK was invited to promote TNT’s new show, Men of a Certain Age. A wry seriocomedy about reaching middle age starring Ray Romano, Scott Bakula, and Andre Braugher. In a piece called “Twenty Year Testimonial” written and directed by DK, Ray tells the life story of his character while visually aging from a youthful 24-year-old to present day, age 48. It required 3D facial scans, digital cosmetics, and deep conversations with a plastic surgeon.
