The Filmmakers.
Kirkpatrick & Kinslow Productions is an Emmy® award-winning film production company, producing feature length movies & documentaries. In 2014, Russ Kirkpatrick & Andy Kinslow started the company, then won an Emmy® award for their first film “Boomtown: An American Journey”. The feature length documentary profiles a traumatic part of mid-America’s war on race in the 1921 Race Massacre -- and other parts of Tulsa, Oklahoma’s checkered history. Kirkpatrick & Kinslow’s second film, “Unlikely Family” can be seen on streaming platforms like AMAZON PRIME in the USA & other parts of the world, while its third feature length film, “The Sound Of Identity” is now available on STARZ, and streaming platforms in the USA & Canada, and it becomes available for United Kingdom audiences in 2022. While Unlikely Family profiles an unlikely group of LGBTQ religious misfits as they find their place in the world, The Sound of Identity powerfully documents the first transgender woman baritone in history performing as the historied Don Giovanni on a mainstage opera. Kirkpatrick & Kinslow is in development on its newest movie, Will To Win, a “feel-good, family friendly” movie set in current time featuring a Will Rogers character. The Producers are collaborating with the Will Rogers Family, and Author Jim Stovall on the movie. Finally, Kirkpatrick & Kinslow is in post-production on the feature film “Susan’s Story” which follows the journey of a woman’s tragic life story, culminating in a shocking death wish.
The company also creates TV commercials, short fiction films, and promotional videos profiling great causes and brand awareness for clients.
