Reviews

Janet Hill

“Working with Kris von Kleist was an absolute pleasure. I had a very specific vision for our website video which Kris not only interpreted perfectly into film, but also improved upon by adding a few extra creative elements.  They were professional and very easy to work with.  Our project was in good hands from start to finish and I hope to work with them again in the near future..”

“Capturing people’s eye in our scroll culture is no easy feat. Kris Von Kleist was the first cinematographer that came to mind for our recent Lights On social video for Stratford. Kris has an eye for lighting and composition that is well, well above their rates.  Please don’t tell them I told you that.”

“Kris von Kleist created film magic for us. We were working on opposite sides of the country, yet you’d never know it – the communication and collaboration were so good. They walked us through everything we needed to do on our end, so we felt very supported from a technical standpoint. They were smart, fast, and creative to work with – their aesthetic verve truly elevated our digital offering”
