Biography

Producer and Collaborative Designer Kris Young, after 20+ years experience as a business owner and entrepreneur, made the decision to sell her businesses and pursue her passion of working as an artist. After dabbling in various art forms she quickly fell in love with the art of filmmaking through her longtime friend, Director/Producer Terry Spears. Looking to broaden her horizons within filmmaking, Kris attended film school where she expanded her passion for "the look" of visual storytelling & met her future mentor, Oscar Award Winning Producer Gray Frederickson (known for Apocalypse Now, The Godfather I,II,III and The Outsiders). Since that time Kris has gone on to produce 4 feature films with all receiving distribution in both the US and worldwide markets. Her first film "American Terror Story", was followed up by "Hell's Belle"; with both horror films receiving distribution through Monarch Films in 2018. For her 3rd feature Kris turned to the action genre with "Agent Jade Black", a female driven action film distributed within the US and worldwide through High Octane Pictures January 2020. After relocating to Los Angles in 2019 Kris teamed up with Canadian Writer/Editor Chloe Bellande to produce the mystery thriller feature film "As The Village Sleeps" which is currently in post production and due to hit the market late 2020. A natural collaborator, Kris enjoys working with producers, cast, and crew members to execute a creative vision that celebrates the contributions of each person on set. Pairing her knowledge and expertise of the business world with her eye for the artistic detail needed within the visual medium of movie-making, Kris is uniquely suited to create narrative films that are simultaneously entertaining, thought provoking, and profitable while always striving to put the best possible story on the screen, regardless of the films budget.
