Kristofer Bonnell

Kristofer Bonnell’s filmography is kinda wild—he’s not just another name in the credits. Hell of a Summer (2023) is the type of movie that shows up outta nowhere and just smacks you with its energy. It’s got this sharp wit and a cast that looks like they’re genuinely having a blast, totally leaning into the chaos. There’s a summer camp, but forget the cheesy tropes—this one’s got a dark twist and enough weirdness to keep you guessing. Then you’ve got Nine Films About Technology (2021), which is honestly a pretty clever take on, well, how tech messes with our lives. It doesn’t preach, but you can tell it’s poking fun at how obsessed we all are with our screens. Each short feels like a little digital snapshot—awkward, funny, sometimes just plain uncomfortable. Bonnell’s got a knack for making you laugh and cringe at the same time, which isn’t easy. And Girl (2020)? That’s a whole different vibe. It’s gritty, kinda haunting, and not afraid to go to some really dark places. You get this sense that every scene is loaded with tension, like something’s about to snap. Bonnell’s involvement ties these flicks together—you can spot his fingerprints in the way the stories don’t play it safe. He seems to dig into the messy, complicated bits of people and the world around them. If you’re bored of cookie-cutter movies, his stuff is definitely worth a look.
