In 2013, he co-founded The Dissolve, a beloved film site from the makers of Pitchfork, where he served as editorial director. He later held the same title at Uproxx, editing critics like Alan Sepinwall, Brian Grubb, and Mike Ryan. His freelance work has appeared in Rolling Stone, Slate, GQ, The New York Times, The Daily Beast, Polygon, The Verge, and Vulture, among others.
He is also the author of Age of Cage: Four Decades of Hollywood Through One Singular Career and co-hosts The Next Picture Show, a biweekly podcast connecting classic and contemporary films. Keith holds a graduate degree from the University of Wisconsin–Madison and lives in Chicago with his family. He’s available for writing and editing projects.
