2024 was about reconnection—to old friends, to passions, and to aspirations.
In March I met up with an old co-worker and friend, Erik Silverson (Litespeed Films), who I haven’t seen in 17 years. We picked up pretty much where we left off and rediscovered our shared interest in storytelling and filmmaking. That day we departed energized and committed to find a project to work on together. We ended up finding five last year and revealed a partnership that’s fluid, fruitful, and fun! Route 29 and Litespeed Films are excited to continue working together in 2025 as a full-service creative production company. Below are some of the projects we produced together in 2024.

On a personal note, i got to reconnect with my inner teenager after “jumping” at the chance to be a high school pole vault coach! It was a blast getting back in the air after 29 years and an even bigger thrill to introduce the event to my son and nephew. We can’t wait to get back on the track next month!
I also got back to showing my photography last summer. I spent June in my studio making prints and in my workshop building frames for a two-day show in July. Then I spent the remainder of the summer putting my online shop together.
And of course, between video productions, track meets, and art shows I continued to help my clients reconnect with their audiences across a variety of media platforms and tactics.

Route 29 is the moniker for creative producer, Kristian Summerer. He graduated with a degree in graphic design from Jefferson University (1995-1999); got schooled in advertising at Red Tettemer (1999-2007); and co-founded Machinery, a Philadelphia-based strategic and creative boutique (2007-2017). When he’s not servicing his clients he could be found behind his camera, in the kitchen, or hanging with kids.
