At Big B Energy, we back the people who chase big moments — and those moments don't only happen at 180 miles an hour. Sometimes they happen at 2 a.m. on a film set, twelve hours into a shoot day, when the crew is resetting for one more take and everyone needs to stay sharp.
That's why we're proud to share that Big B Energy fueled the cast and crew of Dark Elf Films on the set of their vertical series Killing Kin — which is now live and streaming on YouTube.
What is Killing Kin?
A Vertical Series by Dark Elf Films -
Two assassin siblings are sent to kill each other, but they turn the table on the man who set them up. Starring Camila Camilo as Toni and Keith Smith as Kevin.
The siblings:
Toni & Kevin. One is calm and in control. One is...not. One is flashy. One is...not.
Both are killers.
Dark Elf Films
Dark Elf Films is an independent film studio based in Orlando, Florida, specializing in high-concept science fiction, crime thrillers, and psychological thrillers. They tell stories across every format the modern screen demands — feature films, short films, and fast-paced vertical series made for mobile.
It's an ambitious, hardworking crew telling bold stories — exactly the kind of people we love to fuel. Anyone who's spent time on a set knows the truth behind the magic: filmmaking is a grind. Long days, late nights, and total focus from the first slate to the final wrap. Keeping a cast and crew energized through it all is no small thing — and that's the moment Big B was made for.
Killing Kin is now streaming
We were proud to keep the cans cold and the energy high for the team bringing Killing Kin to life — and now you can see the finished product for yourself. The full series just dropped on the Dark Elf Films YouTube channel.

Meet the team behind it
The story doesn't happen without the people behind it. Here's the crew that makes Dark Elf Films tick — cans in hand.
Valensky Sylvian — Founder & Producer A founder of Dark Elf Films and the powerhouse producer behind everything the studio makes. With decades of experience producing and casting feature films, shorts, web and vertical series, music videos, and commercials, Valensky is the connector who makes projects happen — known for his thunderous laugh, quick wit, and a genuine gift for mentoring up-and-coming cast and crew.
Jeremy Wood — Founder, Actor, Producer, Director & Writer A founder of Dark Elf Films and a gifted performer of stage and screen, Jeremy wears just about every creative hat there is — acting, producing, directing, and writing plays. A fixture of the Orlando theater scene and a tireless champion of storytelling in all its forms, he's also a dedicated teacher and mentor helping to develop the next generation of performers.
Jonathan Klotz — Business Manager The steady hand that keeps Dark Elf Films pointed in the right direction. Jonathan is hands-on at every stage — from writer and pre-production meetings to working on set as Script Supervisor. After 20 years as a librarian, he's traded finding the right story for each reader for shaping the perfect stories for the Dark Elf Films audience.
Nathan McMahan — Director A director with 30-plus years of experience who has, quite simply, done it all. Nathan has a knack for visual storytelling you can't teach, honed across a rock-solid career writing, directing, and producing outside-the-box projects for clients including Walt Disney World, ABC, A&E, Lifetime, the Miss Universe Organization, Spike TV, Summit Entertainment, Darden Restaurants, Hilton Resorts, and more.
Conner Frost — Producer & Actor A talented performer and a shrewd businessman, Conner has worked behind the scenes at Dark Elf Films for years as a producer — and has recently stepped in front of the camera for the studio's vertical series, including Killing Kin. He also works directly with the writers to help shape Dark Elf Films' growing slate of projects.
Fuel for every kind of creator
Whether you're chasing a checkered flag or chasing the perfect take, the fundamentals don't change: stay focused, stay sharp, and bring the energy when it counts. Big B Energy is built for exactly those moments — smooth, clean energy in three flavors made to go the distance: Strawberry Smash, Summer Melon, and White Cherry Fizz.
A huge thank-you to Valensky, Jeremy, Jonathan, Nathan, Conner, and the entire Dark Elf Films team for letting Big B Energy be part of the journey. Go check out Killing Kin — and stay tuned, because there's more from Dark Elf Films on the way that we can't wait to share.
