Do nothing.
Kyle Bahl is a Brooklyn-based filmmaker with twenty years of experience across independent film, documentary, and commercial production. His films have screened at festivals nationwide, earned multiple awards, and streamed on major platforms including Amazon Prime. His commercial directing work spans clients including Google, Reebok, BVLGARI, and People Magazine.
Bahl’s teaching spans fifteen years, reaching students from elementary age through conservatory level — from youth arts programs to professional actors navigating the demands of the camera. His approach bridges classroom and set, recreating professional production conditions so students understand the full collaborative process from the inside out.
At Rutgers University’s Mason Gross School of the Arts, Bahl teaches On-Camera Acting to BFA actors, translating theatrical technique into screen-based performance. At the William Esper Studio, he directs and produces the Career Launch Video Showcase, delivering polished content for industry distribution. A graduate of the William Esper Studio’s Two-Year Program, Bahl also studied acting at Stella Adler and HB Studio, playwriting at Primary Stages, as well as improv and sketch comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre, the Annoyance, and the Magnet Theater. He holds a BFA in Film from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas.
