Being the multi-faceted creative force behind THE FLYBOYS is nothing unusual for filmmaker Rocco DeVilliers. As a youth his early projects won local and regional awards, including BOUNDING OVERWATCH, a forty-five minute action war-drama short he wrote, directed, and produced. With a strong technical knowledge in post-production, DeVilliers edited THE FLYBOYS and also supervised the post production and special effects.

Originally from New York, Kevin has appeared in many independent films including, BA0, TRACKDOWN, NG IS MISSING, PRIME TARGET, THE YARD BROTHERS and others, as well as television appearances and dozens of plays in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Eventually he started writing his own Plays and Screenplays. His third screenplay, THE RAT THING, was a semi finalist in the prestigious 2002 Nicholls Screenwriting Competition. Judged solely by Academy members, the Nicholls is considered to be the premier screenwriting contest. THE RAT THING was also a big hit at three different Staged Readings done at the HBO Workspace. Kevin subsequently received multiple offers for representation for the project from well respected industry agents and producers to sell the screenplay to a major studio. He passed on all offers to sell, including an offer for him to star (but not direct) in the picture and be surrounded by "names." Instead he decided to raise the money independently and produce the film himself, staying true to his vision of directing the film with the original cast he'd chosen.

In addition to writing and directing Verboten, Martin Keegan plays Mike Gorman, the fierce single father of a troubled teenager. Keegan has just signed to write the screenplay adaptation of Shirley Jackson's The Lottery. With New York Times Washington D.C. bureau chief Carl Hulse, Keegan is also co-writing Secret Service, the true story of William Wood, a James Bond-like character who created the Secret Service under President Lincoln. His film Has Been won Best Dramatic Film at the Los Angeles International Short Film Festival. Keegan hosts the pop culture talk show Hollywood Babble-On at social broadcasting site NowLive.com, where he has interviewed such guests as David Lynch, Kevin Smith, Freddy Rodriguez and Amber Tamblyn. He has performed internationally as a comedian, working with Rosie O'Donnell, Bobcat Goldthwait, Jeff Foxworthy, Arsenio Hall, The Wayans Brothers and George Lopez.
