ABOUT US

Killer Mantis is an independent film production company that is not only dedicated to the ideas of art and ingeniousness, but also dedicated to the ideas of originality and newness.

The company is currently operated by Christopher Arriaza Smith, Ian Wester, and Tom Felsch. Though they are individualistic in their own styles and skills, they are, together, a collective trio that wish to have their voices heard.

As artists, they are always brainstorming and creating new ideas, styles, and thought. As a company, they hope to become part of the new generation of filmmakers that will bring the next change.

VISION

To conquer the world...and to be one of the best production companies that create original, unique, and creative films that shock, influence, inspire and entertain.

MISSION

Killer Mantis Productions began as a dream, a hope that someday, somehow, someone would be making the films we actually wanted to see. But dreaming alone is never enough, and now the time has come to bring that fantasy to reality, with hard work, diligence, and more ambition than can be contained by such simple surroundings.
