What Filmkraft Llc does

Filmkraft LLC is a creative video production agency founded in 2016 and headquartered in Long Island City, NY, that produces TV, connected TV (CTV), and digital advertising campaigns for consumer and technology brands. The agency operates with a senior-led team of approximately 15-20 members, co-founded by Dmitry Trakovsky, Paloma Veinstein, and Markus Englmair. Filmkraft runs a project-based service business with tiered packages starting at $6,490 for short-form creative work and $9,990 for mid-tier productions, supplemented by custom enterprise pricing for larger engagements.

The agency's client base spans consumer and enterprise brands including Monarch, Mixbook, Dose, Lindt, 1-800-Flowers, Angi, Stereolabs, Keepsake Frames, The Vets, and PSD, with demonstrated capacity for high-volume production such as the 540 ads delivered for Angi. In 2024, Filmkraft launched Screenbridge, a sister studio that extends the agency's core offering into a related creative service line. The company has expanded its geographic footprint with a Los Angeles office and maintains an international collaborator network in Colombia and Iceland, while distributing content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, LinkedIn, and X.

The agency's distribution and marketing strategy relies on thought-leadership content (industry guides on creative production), multi-platform social presence, and a recognized brand demonstrated by industry honors including a 2024 Telly Award. The business model is service-based, with revenue generated through project fees, recurring client engagements, and the parallel Screenbridge offering — without external funding rounds or disclosed M&A activity.
