Founder Kristian Day has spent his career working in a variety of below- and above-the-line roles on narrative, unscripted, and commercial TV and film. As Kristian moved up in the film industry, he stayed dedicated to the stories he felt passionate about. While working in production management and field producing for networks including ABC, Max, Hulu, and PBS, he also produced and directed his own projects that focused on underrepresented voices, identity, and Midwestern life.

In 2022, Day collaborated with director Dylan Sires to create the true crime series Taken Together: Who Killed Lyric and Elizabeth?, which premiered on MAX in 2024.

The two also created the feature-length documentary, Chiefsaholic, for Amazon Studios. It was nominated for Outstanding Long Documentary at the 2025 Sports Emmy Awards.

Kristian’s original show, The Last American Gay Bar, a six-episode limited series about the fall of gay bars and loss of identity in the LGTBQ+ community, premiered on OUTtv in 2024.
