In 2018, we shared the first trailer for this film. The world of independent film is tough, and the road to a release can be quite long.
Since 2018, the project has stayed with us, creeping along. It did festivals, was revisited and refined, and finally landed a distribution deal with Indie Rights in 2025.
Since then it’s been released on Amazon rentals, Tubi, Google Play, and Youtube.
We could not be happier to share this film with the world.
A seven year project in the making, "Snatchers" is a Science Fiction Comedy about an alien invasion in Brooklyn, NY.
The film was produced by Little Knife Media, and directed by John Kingman. Check out their Instagram account to see how the movie was made: www.instagram.com/snatchersfilm/
"Snatchers" is set to premiere at the Brooklyn Film Festival this May.
This trailer is in many, many, ways NSFW.
Houghton Mifflin Harcourt reached out to do a behind the scenes video for Gabby Sidibe's book cover photoshoot at Milk Studios, and we obliged!

Working again with game developers, Cosi Games, we created a high energy video for the launch of their new mobile game, Muhammad Ali: Puzzle King.
Looking to film an interview with the infamous Lloyd Kaufman for their feature film "Chasing Taste", Gannet Productions hired Little Knife. Unfortunately things didn't go as planned.
Though we did not end up winning that year (We did in 2014 with no submission video), this is a great case study of how Little Knife can work within a much larger project.
One of a series of videos Little Knife has done for Kiehl's. We interviewed for one morning at the flagship store and then cut this together Brady Bunch style!
We recently teamed up with some friends to direct and edit, as well as produce and shoot the web series "Crime Scene". Crime Scene is a show about "Crime Scene: S.C.U" a fictional web series, and the actors behind the camera. Enjoy!
Sticky Albums came to us and asked for two videos. One was a two minute history of the company and product, the other a 30 second stand alone of the product that could be integrated into the longer piece as well.
30 Second version
Working with Cosi Productions and Bully Entertainment, we planned and executed this ad for the launch of their soccer app, King Pelé.
Working with Carbone Smolan Agency and the law firm Winston Strawn, we shot a series of interviews with leading members of the firm in both New York and Chicago.
The interviews can be found across Winston.com, and in interview footage for CSA's fantastic overview video.
We put this video together in a few days, but pulling from over a year's worth of footage and photography we've donated to desigNYC. They connect non-profits with designers and firms to help make sure efficient and savvy design is spread all over the city, and over the last year we shot at a number of neighborhood meetings, project sites, and desigNYC events.
We shot this with one of our favorite DPs, Meg Kettel, for the Doritos Crash the Superbowl contest. Their slogan for this year's competition was "Go Bold" so we went bold with a 30 second spot inspired by Cormac McCarthy's "The Road".
Teaming up with Curbly, we shot and edited a piece highlighting their home makeover collaboration with Emily Henderson and Orlando Soria. It was a treat to work on, to say the least!
We're screening at Anthology December 3rd and we'd love for you to come! Tuesday @6pm.
Conceived of by Stephen Levinson and John Kingman, and directed by Stephen. this spec ad was done for a Mofilms contest to create a fun ad featuring Wild Turkey Honey. See if you can spot the insert shot taken in Whitehall, Michigan!
This video was produced by Little Knife and William Philbin for the American Folk Art Museum's announcement of a touring piece making it's way to the Venice Biennale.
