Kyle McCloskey Born in America and raised all over the world, Kyle McCloskey returned to Japan after graduating from Haverford College in Pennsylvania. Since then, he’s worked as an English teacher, a DIT for international film productions, and one time as the face of the Shinjuku Odakyu Department Store (they were desperate). He is currently developing a Tokyo-based LGBTQ-themed short and a low-budget feature-length horror film. Teaching the Nightingale is his Japanese film debut.
