Kevin Pike is a leader in the TV & Film industry- Known as the Special Efforts FX Master, working on industry icons such as Jaws, Indiana Jones, Starwars, Back to the Future,  and many many more!  

Kevin Pike is an American film special effects supervisor, former below-the-line talent agent, and screenwriting consultant. Pike is best known for supervising the Special Effects of the 1985 film Back to the Future. He and his company Filmtrix, Inc., were responsible for constructing the film's iconic DeLorean Time Machine.


Pike was born in Hartford, Connecticut (born 9 May 1951). He showed interest in the arts by making his own 8mm films at an early age. While attending Granby Memorial High School, he served as President of the Drama Club for all four years, during which he won the best actor in 1967 for his role in The Apollo of Bellac. Pike graduated high school in 1969 and later studied Business Management at the University of Hartford.


Pike's film career began in April 1974 while working as a busboy at the Harborside Restaurant in Martha's Vineyard, after a chance encounter with the first film crew of Jaws (1974) to arrive on the island. Pike was hired onto the film as a local doing set construction and painting of the shark and worked with the Special Effects crew to help finish the shark. 


After Jaws, Pike came out to Hollywood and continued his work in Special Effects with the major studios for film, television, and commercials. His work has served on numerous projects for Steven Spielberg and directors such as Robert Zemeckis, John Schlesinger, Taylor Hackford, David Fincher, Tim Burton, Wes Craven, and George Lucas.


Pike has earned nominations and awards, including a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Special Visual Effects for the Amblin Television Production Earth 2 in 1995 and a Clio Award for Best Special Effects on a Levi's commercial directed by Michael Bay in 2000.  


For the AMPAS SpFx Bake-off, he was up for an Oscar nomination for Back to the Future. He also received a BAFTA nomination. He has been a Director with the DGA since 1985, after garnering a series of commercials for Mattel and directing of Second Unit. He is also a member of SAG/AFTRA and BAFTA. Pike has lectured at USC, UCLA, and Columbia College Hollywood and taught Special Effects classes at the Academy of Art University.
