I’m Jacob Krupnick, an award-winning filmmaker based in NY
focused on creating stories from unexpected points of view.
I use dance & movement to expand the idea of what an adventure, a love story, or a social commentary looks like.
I also make commercial work and run the creative studio
Wild Combination.

YOUNG EXPLORERS
A feature-length dance film of epic proportions set to a propulsive soundtrack by mashup genius Girl Talk.
“It’s a joy bomb—more a mood-altering substance than an actual movie.”
“A shining achievement of cinematic bliss... a delightful testimony to the power of community and how the sheer joy of one person’s countenance can bring a smile to hundreds of others...”.
