The Stories No One Has Put on Screen Yet.

Kansas City is the most under-documented major sports market in America. Crestis Media is developing the KC sports documentary catalog before anyone else claims it.

The Stories We Are Developing

Women's Sports

KC Current / CPKC Stadium

The Kansas City Current NWSL team built CPKC Stadium, the first purpose-built women's professional sports stadium in the world. Opened March 2024. $140 million, privately funded. A globally significant story in the most actively commissioned sub-category in sports documentary: women's sports.

Time-Sensitive

2026 FIFA World Cup - Kansas City

Kansas City is a host city for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The grassroots KC soccer culture, the infrastructure being built for international audiences, and the economic impact on surrounding neighborhoods is a time-specific story that must be developed now.

NFL

The Chiefs Dynasty

Four Super Bowl championships. Patrick Mahomes. A franchise that rebuilt from decades of mediocrity to sustained excellence. Global reach. NFL viewership is growing across European and Latin American markets. The story behind the dynasty.

MLB

The Royals Rebuild

A small-market team competing in the era of financial consolidation. The front office strategy, the minor league pipeline, the fan base that never left. A different kind of sports story about persistence, market reality, and what it means to believe.

Anthology

Kansas City Sports Culture

A Midwestern sports town with four professional franchises, a FIFA World Cup, and a women's sports story the world is watching. The cross-sport documentary canvas available to a local producer no outside company can replicate.
