MKHmfg (My Knees Hurt Manufacturing) started as a documentary and has since grown to include endless possibilities. I take raw materials and forge them into compelling content. My name is Benjamin Rupp. All I have ever really wanted to do was shoot and edit video, from the first time I picked up a camcorder in high school, to working my way through college freelancing sports, to how I spend my days now, I have always longed to capture images and tell stories.
