MK Films Group, an international film and digital production studio, celebrates its 10 year anniversary in 2014 and is pleased to announce several major personnel changes reflecting the significant growth of the company.
Joe Mosko, staff producer since the inception of the company is being promoted to Executive Producer/Head of Production effective June 1, 2013.
Amy McIntyre is being brought into the company as Executive Producer / Director of Sales – also effective June 1st of this year.
For the past 23 years, Joe Mosko has been working within the Midwest production community in a variety of capacities. He has an in-depth understanding of everything from the newest digital workflows, to color correct artwork production and modelmaking. This background has enabled Joe to consistently deliver productions on-time and on-budget for the studio and the client. When MK Films Group landed the Wendy’s account in 2009, Joe began functioning as both producer and executive producer for this account. Now with this promotion, Joe will take over as Executive Producer for all MK accounts.
Commenting on his promotion, Joe said “My goal is always to make sure the client is getting not only what they want, but also what they need. In the end, the film that goes out the door is our reputation – so every project must be approached with the same spirit.” Continuing he adds, “We want the entire production to be as smooth as possible from start to finish. Our clients often express how relaxed and comfortable they feel throughout the process, and this is made possible by having directors, crew and a production staff that are all working as a unified team. The collective experience of these people allows us to foresee issues and adapt to last minute changes – a staple of our creative industry.”
Amy McIntyre has been producing commercials for over fifteen years. She has extensive experience in all types of production…tabletop, live action, and animation. It is this experience in seeing the whole picture that she brings to the EP/Sales position at MK. Today’s fast moving, digital driven production world is constantly changing. Having a Sales arm that has a working knowledge of these processes is critical to the success of the company.
“I’m excited to be representing MK’s top directorial and production team talent to the advertising community. Complete understanding of all aspects of the production process will allow me to provide viable and successful solutions to our clients broad based commercial production needs,” said Amy on her new role at the company.
MK Films opened in 2004 with a single director, founding member Mark Klein. Noreen Szeluga was his executive producer partner.
Today it is a multi-million dollar production facility that shoots internationally. Clients come to Chicago to shoot from as near as New York or Kansas City, and as far as Mexico, Japan, England, France and Poland. Top accounts currently include Wendy’s, Pantene, Long John Silver’s, Swiffer, Neutrogena, Olay, Cascade, Taco Bell and Coors Light.
The roster of directors has grown from Mark Klein to a team of five:
Mark Klein
Darren Weninger
Ky Dickens
Michael Nakamura
Michael Ognisanti
Over a year ago, Mark Klein turned the leadership of the company over to Darren Weninger and Susan Amory Weninger. Today, Mark Klein and Noreen Szeluga, along with Darren and Susan look forward to a celebratory 10th year and the beginning of the next decade for MK Films Group!
Mark Klein will remain as one of MK Films busiest directors, with Noreen Szeluga continuing in an advisory role.
