Experience Production

Also under the former nightKAP umbrella, and now part of The Daley Kennedy, one of our strengths is in creating experiences - not events - for clients from the non-profit, entertainment, and corporate sectors. Our innovative, socially & cost-conscious executions have led us to produce these experiences for global brands, leading non-profits and innovative exhibitions around the country. Here's a glimpse of some of those projects:

Many Rivers to Cross was the "experience" of a lifetime for nightKAP. The festival was ideated by the iconic Harry Belafonte and Sankofa.org, the organization designed to carry on his legacy and helmed by his daughter, Gina Belafonte, and her co-director, Raoul Roach. nightKAP was brought on by Belafonte and Sankofa.org to activate the social justice aspects of the festival, work with the PR and marketing teams, help oversee sponsor activations and solicit opportunities, and ensure the work with the on-the-ground production teams was executed efficiently. We also created and produced the Many Rivers Town Hall in conjunction with and launching the festival.

Michael Muller curated incredible artwork for the nightKAP production benefiting LIFT Communities Los Angeles - an amazing organization LIFTing families out of poverty. The expereince raised over $200,000 in its inaugural year, and familiarized an entire community with the vital work that LIFT does on a daily basis. Held at the gorgeous Quixote Studios, this perfect spot with even more perfect hosts featured artwork from Muller, Randall Slavin, Sheperd Fairey, Sage Vaughan and many more.

Year 2 of LIFT:Art saw Michael Muller overseeing curation of an incredible roster of artists from BUMBLEBEE LOVES YOU to Shepard Fairey, Sage Vaughan, and more. This year food was brought to the table in a big way with the addition of food trucks from Baby's Badass Burgers and Canter's, and our bar was sponsored by Tito's Handmade Vodka, Heritage Auctions Wine, and a host of other incredible beverage companies.

And Year 3 brought us to the gorgeous Neuehouse Hollywood in the iconic Studio A (home to the pilot of i Love Lucy and birthplace of CBS). This years event featured new activations for member engagement including a silent disco, and continued to entertain and raise funds for the wonderful work of LIFT.

Hollywood Rush

Two years of fun nights with some of Hollywood's best talent in a rush to save lives.

nightKAP entertainment got its start in 2011, producing one of the most entertaining experiences in Hollywood - The Hollywood Rush. We took 6 successful TV and FILM writers, paired them with successful TV and FILM directors, and gave them each a cast of 5-6 of the rising and top stars in (you guessed it) TV and FILM and gave them all 24 hours to create 6 plays to be performed before a live, judgmental audience of 1300 Angelenos. The result? A hysterical night of theatre featuring musicals about severed penis’, romantic comedies with zombies, and a fundraiser for the Baby Dragon Fund that brought in just shy of $100k in its inaugural year (not to mention coverage from most major Hollywood Entertainment News outlets and over 65k unique media impressions).
