How Adam McKay’s Super-Producer Partner Kevin Messick Built Hits in the Middle of a Pandemic
Kevin Messick is everywhere. The producer was at the SAG Awards with his daughter; at the March 2 premiere of “Winning Time,” the HBO limited series that debuted March 6; at the Los Angeles premiere of his Sundance breakout horror flick “Fresh,” which hit Hulu March 4 via Searchlight; at last weekend’s Santa Barbara International Film Festival Producers panel, representing producing partner Adam McKay’s Oscar-nominated end-of-the-world satire “Don’t Look Up;” and at Monday’s Oscar Nominees Luncheon at the Fairmont Hotel in Century City. On Friday, he’ll be at the AFI Awards annual lunch on behalf of Season 3 of HBO’s Emmy-winning “Succession.”
