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.

Sullivan is the president of Sullivan Entertainment Inc., which he co-founded with partner Trudy Grant in 1979. 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, which provides viewers a behind-the-scenes look at the production design and inspiration for his films.

Sullivan is also well known for his court battles with the heirs of Lucy Maude Montgomery, in which he withheld royalties owed to the heirs and brought them to court on a $55 Million defamation suit.[citation needed]

Sullivan is married to Trudy Grant, President of Sullivan Entertainment International and Sullivan Europe. He has three daughters: Taylor, McKenzie, and Blair.
