My name is Ben Rupp. All I have ever really wanted to do was shoot video, from the first time I picked up a camcorder in High School, to working my way through college freelancing sports TV to how I spend my spare time now, I have always longed to capture images and tell stories. MKHmfg started as a documentary and has since grown to include endless possibilities. I take raw materials and forge them into compelling content. I will take your company or personal project from concept to completion, utilizing my extensive experience with documentary cinematography, editing and motion graphics. I specialize in music, board sports, product and company profile videos (small or large), but am only limited by your imagination. What's your story? Together we can tell the world. Some sample products are below, enjoy.
