Chris Crema is a Los Angeles-based producer and co-founder of Knockout Shorts, a production company focused on elevated short-form and vertical storytelling.
He began his career as an actor, appearing in film and television projects across the U.K. and U.S., before transitioning full-time into producing. In early 2024, he became one of the most active producers in the emerging vertical microdrama space, serving as a service producer on over a dozen serialized titles across multiple platforms. In 2025, he co-founded Knockout Shorts with creative partner Matthew Ko to lead a new wave of premium, platform-native storytelling.
Prior to his work in the vertical space, Chris spent five years at Enderby Entertainment, working on independent films and international co-productions. He later earned his MFA in Producing from the American Film Institute and has since worked independently across narrative, documentary, and commercial projects.
