About Crestis Media

An independent film studio built in Kansas City to acquire, produce, and distribute film IP that compounds in value over time.

Crestis Media is an independent film studio based in Kansas City, Missouri. We acquire completed film rights, produce original sports and documentary IP rooted in Kansas City's sports landscape, and distribute our catalog across all major streaming platforms worldwide. We are a studio built to compound. Every title acquired is a permanent asset, every service contract funds the next acquisition, every original production adds catalog value that grows over time.

Kansas City is not an accident. Missouri's Show Mo tax credit (up to 42%) stacks with the Kansas City Film Office rebate (12%) for a combined rate of up to 54%, the highest production incentive available anywhere in the United States. Kansas City generated a record $24.3 million in film production economic impact in 2025. The city is a FIFA World Cup host in 2026. It is home to CPKC Stadium, the first purpose-built women's professional sports stadium in the world. Seven consecutive years on MovieMaker Magazine's list of top filmmaking destinations. We are here because the structural advantage is real and durable.

The studio operates four integrated divisions: an IP Library that acquires and licenses completed film rights; a Production Services Company that manages below-the-line production for incoming Kansas City shoots; a Sports and Documentary division developing original KC sports IP; and a Distribution Services division that deploys the catalog across territory sales, SVOD, AVOD/FAST, TVOD, educational, and AI training data licensing windows simultaneously.
