Shortly after arriving in Los Angeles from hometown Manhattan, New York, Everett Kelsey made notable appearances on "General Hospital", before landing his roll as "Becky's Father" on, "Heroes". Frustrated by the array of cliché characters submitted to him, he began producing commercial short films to showcase his talent as an actor. His first short "Sleeper" led to a nomination in 2007's Hollywood Black Film Festival's category, "Black Men In Film". "Sunset", a beautifully haunting martial arts experimental music video soon followed; before "Fury", a short film based on Marvel's character, Nick Fury which he scribed. Obsessed with a storyline inspired by an old abandoned restaurant he stumbled upon during a location scout; Everett wrote, produced, and debut as a director of his art-house, atmospheric feature length romantic psychological thriller, "Shi". Parallel to his activities with moving images during this time, Everett wrote and publish his novel, "Ular Senduk", which is in line to be broken into three stand-alone screenplays under the working title, "Damon Tyler Dead or Alive".
