He received a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Film from the Pratt Institute in 2001.[2]

In 2002 he co-founded the Brooklyn Underground Film Festival with Josh Koury and Cris Moris.[3]

He was the editor for We Are Wizards, a documentary about the Harry Potter fandom released in 2008.[4]

Wizard Rock[]

He became involved with wizard rock after working on the documentary We Are Wizards about the Harry Potter fandom. Previously, he had never even read any of the books.[5] Under the stage name Mc Kreacher he released one album, Alone in the Dark, in 2009.

He always performs wearing rubber monster gloves.[6]

He has been described as "the perfect gangsta wiz-hopper; he’s got so much attitude" by Paul DeGeorge of Harry and the Potters.[7]

Personal[]

Kane was diagnosed with primary sclerosing cholangitis in 2006.[8] In 2013 he required a liver transplant. To pay the deductible on his medical insurance, a fundraiser for $50,000 was held and, with the help of his Wrock fans, that goal was exceeded.

He lives in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.[9]
