Kenneth “Gus” August moved to Los Angeles in 1996, from a small area on the east-coast called New York.

 He is currently the writer and host of The Wrap Up with Ken August, heard on The Joint Studios, XM radio and always available on I-Tunes. The show deals with the week's biggest stories...the least depressing way possible. 

Prior to that, Gus had spent four years writing for the four-time Emmy-Nominated talk-show host, Ty Treadway, of the Emmy-Nominated talk-show, "Soap Talk." The show was a daily day-time talk show on the Disney-owned network, SoapNet. Although they were not fortunate enough to win the Emmy, they were without a doubt, consistently funnier than "Doctor Phil."

In 2001, Gus wrote and directed the feature film "...Or Forever Hold Your Peace". The film premiered at the Houston International Film Festival where it was highly praised for its "quick-witted" dialogue and took home the bronze Remmy Award.

In 2000, he sold the dark comedy "Fall." "Fall", a feature-length film, was the directorial debut of Daniel Baldwin and also starred Joe Mantegna and Michael Madsen.

Before that, Gus spent years gaining valuable knowledge working as an Assistant Director (as a member of the D.G.A.), on numerous films and music videos. He has worked closely with such stars as Will Ferrell, Jennifer Love Hewitt and Rodney Dangerfield.
