LA based Kyle Cooper has directed and produced more than 100 film title sequences. Details magazine credited him with 'Almost single-handedly revitalizing the main title sequence as an art form'.

Cooper is the founder of two internationally recognised design and production companies - Prologue Films, launched in 2003, and was a finalist in this year's National Design Awards. He co-founded Imaginary Forces in 1996. Prior to that, he was creative director at R/GA in New York and later Los Angeles.

Creativity magazine named Cooper one of the 'Top 50 biggest and best thinkers and doers from the last 20 years of advertising and consumer culture.' The New York Times Magazine called the title sequence he created for Se7en 'One of the most important design innovations of the 1990s'.

He holds the honorary title of Royal Designer for Industry from the Royal Society of Arts and is a member of the Alliance Graphique Internationale. Cooper earned a Master of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the Yale School of Art, where he studied independently with Paul Rand.

Kyle will be showing and talking about his work.
