HISTORY:
RKL Pictures started as Sleepless Knights Media in the late 1990's. In addition to numerous Fortune 500 corporate projects, Sleepless Knights produced a full-length independent film and a series of viral videos, which have been recognized worldwide and featured in publications such as Time Magazine and Playboy.
SK's Keith Larsen also founded the Connecticut Final Cut Pro User Group (CTFCPUG)/Digital CONNtent Creators in 2003, and has served on professional consulting staffs for AJA Video Systems and Adobe Inc., where he was chosen to be one of 50 influencers for the Adobe® Creative Suite® Production Premium Influencer Program. Larsen was also a co-host and producer for several digital media podcasts, including Toolfarm’s “Plugged-In: The Digital Landscape.”
After the dissolve of Sleepless Knights Media, RKL Pictures (named by Jon Higgins of Northeast Utilities--thanks Jon!) continues to provide full service support in the same award-winning fashion as SK Media did. The RKL Pictures team has stepped back into the role of leading the Digital CONNtent Creators (digitalct.org) and regularly participates in industry trade shows to stay on the forefront of cutting edge technology in the expanding field of creative digital media services.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT RKL PICTURES
"For almost four decades I have set up camera demos for Ikegami, JVC, Hitachi and Grass.
Keith’s presentation today for National Boston was the top shelf: comprehensive, detailed, understandable, personable and engaging. Keith clearly understands the (AJA CION) camera, the marketplace and customer requirements. Tom Sprague [National Boston owner] agrees."
