KKW Studios: Locked, Loaded, and Lit for the Next 5 Years

At Ketchum, Killum & Wynn Studios, we like to keep things bold, bilingual, and just a little bananas.

As of this week, preproduction is officially underway for a couple of our highly anticipated projects, with boots on the ground in Mexico, Texas, and Florida. And while we can’t reveal all the details just yet (don’t worry, the NDA ninjas are watching), what we can say is this:

The slate is sizzling. 🥵
The casting calls are coming in hot. 🔥
And we’ve had financing conversations that would make even Hollywood’s hardest producers crack a smile (and maybe write a check).

But wait—there’s more. We’ve officially added “Murder Chickens” and “Light It Up” to our growing production slate, bringing our total in-development mayhem to five projects. That’s right—five. Like the number of tacos we eat before noon. Or the number of espresso shots powering this announcement.

A Toast to Our Producers (You Glorious, Money-Loving Unicorns 🥂)

To the producers who’ve already backed our madness with cold hard cash: We salute you. You saw the vision before the vision boards. You saw the potential in wild ideas (like psycho poultry with a vendetta) and said, “You know what? Here’s some money—go make magic.”

You are the lifeblood of this studio. And when these projects premiere—on screens, in festivals, and, let’s be honest, probably on memes—we’ll remember who helped make it happen.

Expect champagne. Expect back-pats. Expect your name in a font so bold it’ll give Helvetica a complex.

Casting Update: The Mystery and the Magic

While we can't drop names just yet, we’ll say this much:

• Our Mexico-based film is locking in some seriously charismatic leads—actors with heat, heart, and the kind of onscreen presence that turns heads (and maybe breaks hearts).

• Our Texas production is zeroing in on a star-studded ensemble that blends grit, charm, and cowboy boots with just the right amount of mischief.

• Florida? Think neon lights, fast cars, wild twists, and characters that belong in a bottle episode of your dreams.

From street casting to agent wrangling, it’s coming together beautifully—and hilariously. Let’s just say one actor literally showed up to audition with a live chicken. No notes. Perfect energy.

Welcome to the Coop: “Murder Chickens” Joins the Lineup

If Alfred Hitchcock and Quentin Tarantino shared a tequila-fuelled dream, it might look like Murder Chickens.

This dark comedy-meets-slasher satire pecks its way through genre conventions, leaving feathers—and bodies—in its wake. It’s outrageous. It’s chaotic. It’s deeply inappropriate in all the right ways. And trust us: you’ve never seen poultry revenge quite like this.

The tagline? “Revenge. Served sunny side up.”
You’re welcome.

Get Lit With “Light It Up”

Next up, Light It Up—a high-octane Luchador wrestling Holiday Rom-Com that fuses Latin beats, family secrets, and one woman’s journey to light up her community… literally.
Set in the electric heart of South Texas, this story pulses with color, rhythm, and redemption.

It’s “Nacho Libre” meets “Candy Cane Lane” with a little “Anyone But You” energy thrown in for good measure. We've got firemen, blizzards, and one hell of a wrestling match. Oh, and Christmas lights. Lots of Christmas lights.

Why Five Projects? Because We’re Built Different

Some studios move slow and safe. Not us. We’re like if a salsa dancer and a stuntman had a baby—with a screenplay in one hand and a camera in the other. Our projects are intentionally diverse, high-energy, and crafted to punch above their indie weight class.

Here’s our game plan:

• Diverse storytellers. We platform Latino voices, characters, and cultural nuance in every script.

• Cinematic ambition. Whether it’s a holiday rom-com or a psychological thriller involving poultry, our visuals hit hard.

• Smart financing. Strategic equity, tax credits, and investor partnerships that actually make sense.

• Killer marketing. We’ve got built-in buzz via influencer campaigns, affiliate reach, and good ol’ fashioned guerilla tactics.

Shout-Out to Our Home Bases

We’re proud to be planting flags in some of the most vibrant, culturally rich corners of the continent:

• Mexico: For the passion, the landscapes, and the tequila (for research purposes only).

• Texas: For the talent, the tax credits, and the boots.

• Florida: For the flash, the flair, and the unfiltered weirdness we can’t get enough of.

These aren’t just locations. They’re characters in our stories. And we’re beyond excited to show what’s possible when you produce locally, think globally, and lead with culture.

What’s Next?

Casting announcements. Behind-the-scenes sneak peeks. Funding opportunities. And maybe—just maybe—a live chicken in a press junket. Who knows? It's KKW Studios, baby.

To our current backers: keep your phones on and your inboxes open.
To future partners: the slate is hot, the buzz is real, and there’s still time to grab a seat at the table (or a perch on the chicken coop). Email milan@kkwcreative.com if you're interested in get in on the fun.

Stay bold. Stay weird. And stay camera-ready.
