Kris Krainock wears many hats — screenwriter, director, producer, playwright and poet — but if one were to boil him down to one word, you could simply call him a humanist. Krainock has been described as “high concept,” and his work is undoubtedly cloaked in homage to the greats — Bergman’s emotional rawness, Fellini’s fantastical exploration, and Hitchcock’s cerebral sense of mystery are all found in Krainock’s film, television and written work — but he is not afraid to entertain, exploring life and death through trademark erudite philosophizing and pitch-black humor.

I am a student filmmaker from Lynn University in Boca Raton. I am originally from the Czech Republic. I am studying film for 5 years now and really fell in love with action and stunts in particular in film. However I strive to become a better filmmaker in all aspects going forward. I think I would have a lot of stories to tell about my experiences as a student filmmaker, from working with actors at a non-professional level. Safety with stunts, getting permits and other important things other students would be really interested to hear.
