| MR. KERSHNER IS BASED IN LOS ANGELES, CA. |
A graduate of the University of
Southern California film school, Irvin Kershner began his career in 1950, producing documentaries for the U.S. Information
Services (USIS) in the Middle East. He turned to television in the 1950s, directing and photographing a series of documentaries
called CONFIDENTIAL FILE. Kershner was one of the directors given his first break
by producer Roger Corman, for whom he shot STAKEOUT ON DOPE STREET in 1958. The main
theme that runs through many of Kershner's films is social alienation and human weaknesses--although his biggest commercial
success was the 1980 Sci-Fi blockbuster THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. You can also find
him behind the camera in other POPULAR films such as ROBOCOP 2 and the James Bond
flick NEVER SAY NEVER AGAIN! Mr. Kershner also served as a Post-production consultant
on INSTANT DADS and is currently working on 2 Broadway productions.
