Kevin Lehane is an Irish Film and Television Academy Award, Writers Guild of Great Britain Award, and 2013 Fangoria Chainsaw Award-nominated screenwriter for the cult comedy monster movie 'Grabbers' which premiered at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival and has since been released around the world.
Screen Daily described 'Grabbers' as having a ‘smart script canny enough to sidestep the expectations of fans who might think they know how films like this are supposed to play out’ while Robbie Collin of The Telegraph described ‘Kevin Lehane’s script as positively gooey with ideas, and he comes up with engaging arcs for his lovably flawed leads’.
In 2016, he wrote the anthology Sky Television series ‘Likely Stories’ based on the short stories of Neil Gaiman for Sid Gentle Films (Killing Eve). Directed by Iain & Jane, the series attracted a who’s who of British acting talent from George MacKay, Denise Hough and Tom Hughes, to legendary actors like Rita Tushingham and Kenneth Cranham.
Since then, Kevin has developed film and TV projects for Adorable Media, Blink Industries, Blumhouse Productions, Bidaya Media, CBBC, Elastic Film, Fremantle Media, Goldcrest Films, Ingenious Media, Mark Sourian, Pure Grass Films, The Salt Company, Screen Ireland, Sharp House, Revolution Films and Intrepid Pictures among others.
Kevin also co-hosts the popular film and TV podcast "The Best Bits" with Irish screenwriter Will Collins.
