About MK12
Based in Kansas City, Missouri, MK12 is a design and filmmaking collective with acclaim in both commercial and artistic arenas. Founded in 2000 by art school refugees Jed Carter, Tim Fisher, Matt Fraction and Ben Radatz and later joined by designer / composer Shaun Hamontree and partner Chad Perry, MK12's work constantly challenges the boundaries between narrative structure and experimental storytelling via juxtapositions of live action, graphic design, nostalgic influence and new technologies. MK12 has been sought after to direct numerous commercial & network-based projects and has also provided graphic design & animation for feature films such as Stranger than Fiction, The Kite Runner, Holy Wars and Quantum of Solace.

MK12's experimental & short film catalogue has been featured in many international film festivals and has been published in design and trade journals worldwide. Most recently, their short film "Overload" -- a collaboration with NY-based painter Brian Alfred -- was inducted into the Guggenheim's permanent collection.

MK12 continues to produce original content for television and cinema, and it's most recent film, "MK12's History of America", proves to be their most ambitious work to date, merging experimental design and traditional storytelling to dramatic effect.
