About the Studio · Est. November 2024

Built for the
long take.

CK Film & Entertainment is an independent production company based in Kentucky, founded by Kenny Scott Guffey and Chris Hooten on a single stubborn idea: ensemble-driven, fearless storytelling shouldn't depend on a coastal zip code.

Our Story

A studio in motion.

Founded November 2024

We're CK Film & Entertainment. We do a little bit of everything, but our primary focus is features. Drama, horror, documentary, action — if there's a story we believe in, we shoot it.

Our music documentary Rick Nelson: Guntersville was featured in Billboard Magazine, with a forthcoming showcase in Vintage Rock Magazine. It features actress Tuesday Knight — best known to horror fans as Alice in A Nightmare on Elm Street 4: The Dream Master — and is currently streaming on Prime Video. It arrives on Tubi at the end of the month.

Our action drama 77 premiered at the historic Kentucky Theater in Lexington and arrives on Prime in late summer. One of our producers on that picture was Christopher Serrone, who played Kid Henry in Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas.

Next month we head to Louisiana for a haunted-house documentary, then we roll cameras on our next slasher feature, Festevil, in July. We've been featured in Billboard, reviewed by Ryan Jay, and advertised in Times Square. We're proud of what we've built so far — and we're just getting going.
