Keith Famie  

Producer, Director & Author

Director and Producer Keith Famie was, for many years, known as a celebrity chef. Famie was also a finalist on the 2001 reality television series, ""Survivor II: The Australian Outback.""

Keith hosted his own Food Network series, ""Keith Famie's Adventures,"" traveling the world documenting cooking styles from the plains of Africa to the monk monasteries of Taiwan and onto the lifestyle of Key West. In 2004, the Adventure Chef embarked on a new journey - documentary filmmaking. ""I didn't want to be the 'Adventure Chef' guy anymore. I wanted to help people tell their stories.""

Since that life-changing decision, Famie has been awarded eleven Michigan Emmys and has been nominated several other times for his rich, human-interest storytelling, from ethnic documentaries to military tribute films. He and his team at Visionalist Entertainment Productions create informative, entertaining films that touch a wide audience.
