I consider myself a storyteller first and a filmmaker second. I truly believe that pretty pictures without soul and purpose are simply just that, pretty pictures. Every project I take on, whether it's a documentary, corporate vignette, or commercial, I always rely on story to drive every decision made in crafting content that speaks and resonates with audiences on a deeper human level. My work has taken me from the headquarters of fortune 500 companies to impoverish villages in rural Ghana. I've had the opportunity to interview industry leaders, dreamers, artists, innovators, underdogs, victims of abuse, terminally ill patients, and activists. From bigger than life characters to normal everyday working people, we all have a story to share and yet good stories only happen to those who can tell them. I am grateful and blessed to continue my pursuit of happiness and passion to craft good stories that challenge the way we think and speak to the heart to move the mind. Over the years my work has been recognized with numerous awards including 5 Emmys and 1 Telly, and yet I feel I've only just scratched the surface. When I am not behind a camera or computer I enjoy spending quality time with my family hiking a trail, traveling, getting our hands dirty in the veggie garden or playing with our dog and chickens.

Keith Terrell is a director, writer and producer whose credits include music videos, commercials, television, film and live broadcast productions. Over the past several years, the Los Angeles native has gained a wealth of experience working alongside some of the biggest names in the entertainment industry as a First Assistant Director. Most notably, he was Ava Duvernay’s A.D. for the groundbreaking Jay Z music video/short film Family Feud. Keith has also run sets for other top-selling artists, including T.I., Tyga and Blake Shelton. As Keith’s reel continues to grow, he’s placed a special focus on creating engaging content that showcases the diversity of minority communities--highlighting strong, positive images that debunk many outdated media stereotypes. His first narrative film, Penny For Your Thought, centers on the harsh reality that domestic violence can have on a girl who witnesses her mother’s abusive relationship and tries to intervene. He hopes to bring awareness to the epidemic and encourage those in abusive relationships to get help. It premiered at the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood in 2016. His latest project, Raincoat is now streaming on Amazon Prime and deals with the harsh realities of many young black mails in the inner city who are searching for their identity while being courted by many vices and evils. In addition to his professional goals, Keith has a personal goal of helping the next generation of content creators. Knowing that many inner-city kids don’t have exposure to entertainment industry careers, he began teaching film at New Earth, an L.A. High School for troubled teens. He plans to expand his efforts by setting up a continuation program that teaches students how to apply for roles “on set” and build successful careers.

In 2019 I decided to leave my home country, Ukraine, and move to the US to pursue a career in film. I attended Savannah College of Art and Design for a Film and Television degree but always strived to get as much experience as I could on various sets and work opportunities. Despite little experience at the time, I quickly realized I had a great passion for directing. My biggest achievement up to now is a short film I have directed called "Glory to the Nation", which ultimately brought me 3 Student Emmy Awards and is still in the festival circuit. I have also discovered I strive in the grip and electrical department and genuinely enjoy gaffing jobs of any scale. I have worked on various projects including short and feature films, TV shows, commercials, fashion photography, and music videos. I co-own an equipment rental company called PYX Studios, which offers a great amount of camera and lighting equipment, enough for maintaining any smaller-scale productions.

I'm Kyle Sklenar, a commercial and documentary Writer, Director, and Editor, with an aptitude for Comedy and Adventure. I've written for NBCUniversal's Holiday campaign, The Walking Dead's 10th Season Promo, and a handful of spots for Dish Network. I love directing, it's in my bones. Two stories for another day: I've directed a Super Bowl commercial in 2020 for a total budget of $10,000 with only one week to go from concept to master delivery. I've also convinced Kroger to build an entire game show set in the middle of the produce department of an active store. And as an editor, I've gotten my 10,000 hours. I started out in post, learning from Emmy award winning directors on the right (and sometimes wrong) way to do things. I've cut for AMC, NBCUniversal, Amazon, Disney, Toyota, Dish Network, The Utah Jazz, etc etc All in all, I know story. I know humor. And I know adventure. Let's work together and make a lasting impact on the world around us, while having some fun along the way.
