About Dwight Kennedy
Big ideas are easy. Making them work in the real world is the job. That’s where I live.” - Dwight KennedyHello — I’m Dwight Kennedy.I’m a Creative Producer and Creative Director with 40+ years leading large-scale entertainment across theme parks, immersive venues, film/TV, and global live events. I’ve created, written, directed, and produced flagship experiences for Sphere Las Vegas, Universal Studios (Hollywood, Japan, Beijing, EPIC Universe), Disney Parks, Knott’s Berry Farm, and Fortune 500 brands worldwide.I specialize in taking bold ideas from concept to opening day — aligning story, music, technology, talent, budgets, and operations so the experience works creatively and in the real world. My leadership style blends big-picture vision with hands-on execution: building strong teams, empowering talent, and delivering under high pressure with clarity and calm.I’ve led award-winning productions across the U.S. and Asia, directed technology-driven and robotic entertainment programs, and produced thousands of live and corporate events at scale. No ego. No chaos. Just clear storytelling, disciplined execution, and memorable results.At the center of everything I do is the audience — and the people who make the work possible. I believe great experiences come from trust, collaboration, high standards, and a sense of humor when the stakes are high.If you’re building something bold, immersive, or globally impactful, let’s talk.
