Chris Kennelly

Chris Kennelly established Kennetic Productions in 2003 at the age of 22 after a successful college career in the TV department of the University of Florida and an amazing, hands on internship in LA. It seemed entrepreneurship was just in his blood (Dad started his own business also) and he jumped right in.

Chris has built this company on an ability to tell a story and an ability to identify and meet client needs. Promoting your company with video is highly effective if done correctly. Kennetic Productions has prospered because it knows how to get out of the way, and let your clients tell your story.

As the company has grown, a new skill developed. The ability to identify talent. Below is the team! These are the faces you'll see throughout the life of your project. They are all hand picked because of specific skills and are entrusted to maintain the high level of professionalism and expertise Kennetic Productions clients have come to expect.

Tony Sarte

When Tony, a Jacksonville native, joined Kennetic Productions in March, 2008, he was already a writer, director, and editor of several award-winning independent short films, as well as a skilled freelance craftsman with experience on both national commercials and Hollywood studio movies. Working in and out of the film industry since 1996, Tony brings to Kennetic a technical know-how, artistic vision, and ability to think outside the box.

After serving six years as a nuclear reactor operator onboard the USS Seahorse, a U.S Naval fast attack submarine stationed in Charleston, SC, Tony turned back to his first love, the arts, and pursued the craft of filmmaking. After attending a two-year filmmaking course at Trident Technical College in Charleston, SC, he made his first film, a 35mm short entitled "Was It Something I Said?" that went on to win a Best Short Film award at the WorldFest International Film Festival. After that, he continued to work on several other independent film projects, gain professional experience as a Camera Assistant on commercials such as Citgo and Tide, and gain industry experience on several big budget movies when Charleston was a hotbed for feature production. All the while, he earned a Bachelor's Degree in Communications from the College of Charleston. Tony returned to Jacksonville to help with a family business, and continued his filmmaking career in Northeast Florida, producing several short films which have screened and won at film festivals across the country, including our own Jacksonville International Film Festival. Shortly after, Tony joined the Kennetic Productions crew, bringing his drive, experience, and artistic vision to every production he does.

Patrick Joseph

While attending Florida State University as an art major, Patrick began to pursue film and video production. He soon shifted the focus of his studies to media production and began shooting and editing his own short films. After graduation, he continued to work in the industry on larger scale productions including feature-length films and national commercials, as well as his own projects.

Patrick's short films have gone onto screen at film festivals around the country. Recently one of his short films was licensed by Movieola, Canada's short film channel. He also recently directed a national ad for Mizuno. With experience shooting on everything from HD to 8mm and Super 16mm,Patrick prides himself on bringing his cinematic eye to every frame he shoots.

Elier Ramos

Writer/Director Elier Ramos has a strong passion for story telling. While completing his Bachelors degree at the Art Institute of Jacksonville, Elier successfully created several short films. "We're All Watching" was shown at the MOCA theater as part of an art show and "Communication" was shown at the Jacksonville Film Festival.

After a successful undergraduate career, Elier emerged on the professional scene with reality television. In reality TV, extracting the emotion and story from any situation is a must have skill. Elier brings that same skill to Kennetic Productions.

Passion isn't taught, passion isn't learned, passion just is. Elier has a passion inherent in all Kennetic Productions team members and we love having him here.
