Mike and Kristin Sukraw

Once upon a time, Mike and Kristin met and fell in love in the far away land of Nebraska.

Mike was getting his degree in marketing while producing films and winning awards on the side. All the while, Kristin was earning her Master’s in Counseling.

Both continued to pursue distinct careers with Mike founding and growing Reliant Studios, and Kristin working at a private counseling practice for several years. But Reliant was always calling and her passion of helping people make sense of their stories began to transition more and more out of the therapy room and into the videos Mike was producing with his team.

In 2012, Kristin took a leap of faith and joined Reliant full time. Since then, Reliant has developed a brand around authentic storytelling and producing videos that help nonprofit organizations achieve real results.

They travel the country together with their team, working with clients to discover their best stories and helping the storytellers connect with an audience in a deep and meaningful way.

Hundreds of nonprofit videos later, Mike and Kristin love sharing with nonprofit audiences some of what they’ve learned along the way. Client’s include Imagine Dragons’ Tyler Robinson Foundation, Tiny Hands International and Homes for Our Troops.
