| MISSION STATEMENT |
| |
| Running Hooks Pictures in an independent Film & Television production company based out of Montreal. In 2006, it was founded by current president, Josh Kimmel. As the Montreal entertainment industry was extremely quiet in the preceding years, Josh Kimmel created the company to provide more work within the city. It started out as something small and personal, with the goal to produce short films. However, over the past three years, it has flourished into almost a dozen projects, including TV shows & upcoming feature films. There are currently several projects in various stages of development, and Running Hooks Pictures aims to continue working with the same cast & crew that has helped them get to where they are now. |

JOSH KIMMEL – CEO / President
Josh created Running Hooks Pictures
with the goal to create more work in the city.
As an actor since 2000, he felt that with the
limited work in Montreal, he needed to take his
career into his own hands. Josh is considered
a semi-professional poker player, and believes
that the business of filmmaking needs to be handled
similarly to a poker game. Taking calculated
risks is what he believes will allow the
company to surpass others and strive to the top.
With several film projects under his belt, he
has been fortunate enough to get a return on investment
for each project to date, and as such, has attracted
new investors for each upcoming project. His drive,
determination and appreciation for the people
that work with him, is what attracts so many great
people to his projects.

BENZ ANTOINE
– Producer
Benz is currently working on
the upcoming projects "Adversity" and
"The Relationship Game". As an actor
in the industry since the early 90's, Benz has
read hundreds of scripts, and knows what it takes
to bring something to fruition. Benz believes
producers need to pay more attention to micro-managing a script. By doing that, it will allow every scene
to have a clear conflict. We believe that his
skills will allow each project to be the best
that it can be.

independent film scene. While out in the UK, he
worked with the notorious Raindance Film Festival,
and gained a vast proficiency in independent film
distribution. Steve’s hard work ethic will allow
the company to flourish for the years to come.
