In 2020, Kyle debuted his first children's book, "Christmas Isn't the Same Without You"; a story about grieving loved ones during the holidays, inspired by the passing of his dog. In 2022, Kyle partnered with filmmaker Fiorella Vescovi Garcia to develop "Mal de Amores," an LGBTQ short film that centers around codependency and friendship, designed as a proof-of-concept for a TV drama/comedy series.

He believes that filmmakers should not only represent themselves in their work but reflect the audience as well.
