Biography

Keen studied at Bishop's University in Lennoxville, Quebec, and Ryerson University in Toronto, before completing a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Art History) at Concordia University. A Ken Kesey inspired bus trip through the United States, where he met Oliver Stone in New Orleans, decided his career in film. After graduating, Keen moved to Toronto, where he began work in the film and television industry as a production assistant. Keen founded Regular Horse Productions in 1997 to produce documentaries and related works.
