Career

Ken Kristensen received an MFA in 2008 from Columbia University Film School. While still in film school he was selected to both the Sundance and IFP labs, and worked as an associate producer under Gary Winick (Charlotte's Web) and Mark Waters (Mean Girls).

After graduating, Ken won the Academy Nicholl Fellowships in Screenwriting, and was a finalist for the Disney Feature Fellowship. He was hired by Pulitzer Prize winner Michael Chabon to write for The Amazing Adventures of The Escapist (a graphic novel spinoff of Chabon's The Adventures of Kavalier and Clay), and is slated for a fall 2015 release by Dark Horse Comics.

Ken co-created the critical and commercial hit Todd, The Ugliest Kid on Earth — an Image Comics (The Walking Dead) series with his longtime creative partner, Eisner-nominated comic book artist M.K. Perker. Several other Image Comics series are currently in development.

In 2014 Ken was hired to write Indestructible, a monthly super-hero comic book series created by Jeff Kline (Transformers Prime) and published by IDW/Darby Pop Publishing.[1]
