From the industry
The team
Philip Andrew Truempi
Founder & Director
“Thousands of incredible independent films get made each year. Short films, short series, pilots, indie films... Yet before making my own ones, none of my friends had ever watched one before - not a single one! Why? There seems to be a stigma around them and it frustrates me, that because of it, they are not being seen by the general public. I want to change that perception and make watching independent films exciting. Not just for industry people, but for families, friends and film lovers. To achieve this I want to build the best platform for independent filmmakers out there."
Background: 5 produced indie films, 20+ acting works (OSCAR® Academy Award-winning film, BAFTA-nominated series, TV with Golden Globe winning actors). Founder of programming studio Loxotipu.
Sonja Truempi
Co-Owner
"I initially joined because my husband is so passionate about Klipist and insisted I watch every film and help out on every film set. After experiencing the remarkable talent and storytelling firsthand, I was inspired to elevate independent filmmakers to a global stage by leveraging my unique background in international sales and by bringing in fresh perspectives."
Background: Head of Sales for international companies, with extensive experience in consulting, sourcing, project management, logistics and strategic development across the UK, Switzerland, Hong Kong, and China.
Craig McDonald-Kelly
Head of Films
"When you see a good film at a film festival you're like 'YES' they've nailed it and that's what we try to do on Klipist. We want to bring the best of the best for people. So we go above and beyond to select films that are beautiful, brave, and meaningful, always valuing quality over quantity."
Background: 7 written and produced indie films, 20+ acting works (BBC, Channel 4, Netflix, Amazon...), founder of production company Deadline Films
Julie Rahier
Head of Content
"It’s never been easier to stream content, and there have never been so many providers, from dedicated film platforms to video-based social media. And yet, do you watch films from independent filmmakers like you would stream Netflix? Probably not. Because they are a bit everywhere but really nowhere. That’s why we want to give independent filmmakers the opportunity to be found and inspire. We want to create a home for high-quality content. And whether you’re a filmmaker or a film lover, we’d love you to be part of this journey with us."
Background: PR and Communications for TV groups (TV5Monde, M6 Group), SEO manager for a global theatre ticketing company, founder of a short film production association
Borislava Stratieva
Partnership & Events Manager
"It's one thing to tell a beautiful story in 90 minutes. But how do you do it with no budget? And in 15 minutes? The skill to create memorable independent films is something that I admire. A skill that needs celebrating!"
Background: Established Bulgarian actress (Cannes Film Festival, Amazon, Sony...), events manager for a high-profile events company
