About this listen

This week, Keith sits down with longtime friend and Valley local Adrian Kays—an award-winning trailer editor whose work has helped launch films like John Wick, Longlegs, I Saw the Devil, and more. From driving an ’87 FJ Land Cruiser coast-to-coast with nothing but a dream, to answering phones in Warren Beatty’s office, to cutting trailers that get audiences out of their seats and into theaters—Adrian’s story is all about grit, timing, and a love for the movies.

We talk about breaking into Hollywood, what really makes a trailer work (and what ruins it), why he chose the Santa Ynez Valley for his family, and the joy of a 50-yard commute down Ballard Canyon. This isn’t an interview—it’s a conversation about movies, friendship, and how the smallest cuts can make the biggest impact.
