Film production and distribution
In 1996, after twelve years in the corporate world, Klingenstein produced his first film: the documentary The Church of Saint Coltrane with Jeff Swimmer. Shortly after, Klingenstein formed Filbert Steps Productions, together with media investor and production partner Jim Kohlberg.[1][4] Klingenstein produced Filberts Steps' films for very low budgets: Two Family House (2000),[1][5] Forever Fabulous, Runaway,[1] and Trumbo (2008)[6]
Klingenstein developed Filmcatcher.com, containing editorial coverage of art house films, on-camera interviews with filmmakers and actors, film festival coverage, critical reviews, celebrity picks, and profiles of the independent film community.[7]
In 2010, Klingenstein joined with brothers Danny and Jack Fisher to create FilmRise, a film acquisition fund and distribution company established to acquire and distribute a slate of both mainstream and specialized films, documentaries, and television series.
OC 87 was released by FilmRise in June 2012. It depicts how Bradford (Buddy) Clayman, a middle-aged man who suffered an obsessive-compulsive disorder for over 20 years, was finally able to enter a path of recovery. The New York Times called it "a moving, penetrating documentary".[8]
