MK12 are based in Kansas City, Missouri, and are a design and filmmaking collective with acclaim in both commercial and artistic arenas. Founded in 2000, 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 and network-based projects and has also provided graphic design and animation for feature films such as Stranger than Fiction and The Kite Runner. The studio’s experimental and 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 included into the Guggenheim’s permanent collection. MK12 continues to produce original content for television and cinema and its 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.
