who we are
JEFF GRANTZ :- Show Runner
While growing up, Jeff Grantz struggled to find a purpose to achieve in life.. That is, until he met Steven Teuchert in High School. After high school, the two began working for a local start up channel called “IETV,” where they developed a friendship with Jeff Kaminski. Jeff along with two other friends formed KREJ Productions, an independent production company where they could develop a unique brand of comedy all their own.
When he’s not in production on “Team P.R.O.O.F.” or any other projects with Third Place Productions, Jeff serves as Editor-in-Chief, writer and Podcast Host for GeekSmash.com, and he recently received his Bachelor’s Degree in Creative Writing for Entertainment from Full Sail University.
JEFF KAMINSKY: Director
Founder of Third Place Productions, LLC., Jeff Kaminsky has always been a story teller. As soon as he could talk he was coming up with stories using the characters he had created in his artistic brain. Even though he liked having books read to him as a small child, it was the stories that he made up at bedtime with his parents or when he took walks with his Grandmother that seemed to cause the twinkle in his eye and spark his imagination to unbelievable heights. Attending Savannah College of Art and Design, he majored in Film.
After graduating from SCAD, Jeff returned to Atlanta and began working at “IETV,” a local start up channel. There he met kindred spirits Jeff Grantz, Steven Teuchert and Ryan Presley. The group decided to enter a film racing competition, placing third in their first attempt with film “Better Late than Never.”
