Kyle Smith: Filmmaker, founder of “Check 15” & life with cancer

Kyle went to Columbia College Chicago for film directing but has enjoyed the past nine years in Los Angeles working in the Art Department. In October 2012, he felt two small lumps on his right testicle. Two days later, he ran a marathon. One week later, he had the cancerous testicle removed. One year later, in attempts to make sense out of all this, he founded CHECK 15: The Monthly Cancer Awareness Day. CHECK 15 creates a new cancer awareness PSA on the 15th of every month with the goal of fighting cancer through early detection and lowering risk - all delivered with a healthy dose of humor. As of January 2019, they’ve achieved 62 straight months of videos.
