Kevin Sullivan is a Canadian producer and director of film and television programs.

Kevin Charles Sullivan graduated from the University of Toronto in 1979 with a Bachelor of Science in Biology. During this time, he also pursued an interest in Art History and Baroque Architecture and spent several months pursuing field studies in Austria and Bavaria. This interest in the 18th century most recently inspired his desire to create a contemporary feature film of Mozart’s classic opera The Magic Flute, entitled Magic Flute Diaries.

Over his career, Sullivan has won three Emmy Awards, and his films have been screened in over 150 countries. Sullivan is also the author of Beyond Green Gables, a behind-the-scenes look at the production design and inspiration for his films. Sullivan also was involved in a lawsuit with the heirs of Lucy Maude Montgomery, bringing them to court on a $55 Million defamation suit after they claimed he withheld royalties owed to the heirs.[1][2][3] The Court stated: It is not clear from a legal point of view why permission from the heirs of the author or its related entity the Anne of Green Gables Licensing (AGGLA) authority was necessary. “it is not clear from a legal point of view why permission from the heirs of the author or its related entity was necessary”. [4]


Sullivan is married to Trudy Grant, President of Sullivan Entertainment International and Sullivan Europe, and has three daughters.[citation needed]
