Emmy Award Nominee Raphael Kryszek was born and raised in Portland, Oregon. Kryszek moved to Los Angeles in
his late teens to attend the prestigious University of Southern
California, where he minored in Cinema and Philosophy, and majored in
Political Science. Following college, Kryszek worked in physical
production at New Line Cinema, worked numerous jobs with various
independent films [in development and distribution] and worked for
NBC-Universal's E!, The Style Network, and G4 for six years.
In 2007, Kryszek founded Clifton Production Services LLC. The company
provided clients with the ability to follow a project from the concept
stages all the way through final delivery of master elements, without
the need to step outside of their facility. Services offered included
post supervision, editing, graphics, mixing, finishing, high-end visual
FX, 3D modeling, animation, and more. His company flourished from the
start, as they provided services for notable projects including high
end music videos for artists like Nelly, Jack Johnson, Kid Rock, Flo
Rida, Akon, and Keri Hilson, to name a few. Kryszek also continued to
produce projects, working on "Fox Legacy with Tom Rothman."
In 2010, Kryszek founded Ineffable Pictures. In 2011,
Ineffable Pictures optioned the rights to New York Times Bestselling

read the book series. In addition to "Tiger's Curse," Ineffable

and is Executive Producing the upcoming action comedy feature film "In
Security" written by Adam Beamer, Evan Beamer, and Craig Hildebrand.

Fox Movie Channel original program Writer's Draft. The non-fiction
program examined the screenwriter's process and emotional journey from
concept, to screen. Kryszek notes that his passion and drive for the
entertainment business comes from his love of both the art, and
commerce of storytelling.

partners will form Ineffable Entertainment Group [IEG] which will
become the parent company for all of his entertainment divisions
including Clifton Production Services for post and VFX, Ineffable
