Biography

Based out of and born in Sacramento, our Key Grip Christopher Kimotek is a man who wears many hats in any single production and brings his unique perspective and unparalleled energy to any set he touches. After an internship with Casting Director, Valerie Mccaffrey, he attended American River College to receive his Film Certificate and decided to continue his education on the streets of Sacramento and committed to learning-by-doing. Christopher developed his MacGyver-like problem solving skills while participating in any project or crew he was able to learn with in Sacramento. Believing that "if everything is going right, you're doing something wrong", no stone should be left unturned when deciding how to go about a shot in a production. Whether it's writing, directing, acting, or editing, every step of movie production intrigues this guy and studies and works hard everyday to make himself more knowledgeable and adaptable to the beautiful magic and chaos of motion pictures.

Being involved with 30+ indie productions around the Sacramento area with different groups has given Christopher the tools and know-how to get the job done. To pretend everything is going to go perfectly as planned is not realistic and the more you know that and accept it, makes you very versatile and adaptable on a set. Problem solving is a big part of the art form.

Christopher has proved time and time again that the ability to think unconventionally and outside the box has a force in completing a production. He always makes sure that everyone is having a good time and laughing on-set while remaining dead serious about the task at hand.

The ability to see a million and one options when most others will only see one, is where his unique style and strive for originality differs from the rest. His high-energy and optimism has been known to be infectious to others and proves he's the right man for the job.
