Brian Blotner (Writer/Director) is not like most anxious filmmakers. Brian decided to take the "school of hard knocks" approach to complete his film training. Working on two successful short films, "The Day I Ran Into All My Ex-Boyfriends", directed by Peter Pamela Rose, and "Soup or Salad?", directed by Mitchell Bard, honed his craft as an up and coming filmmaker. Also, having his writing critiqued by AFI screenwriting teacher, Michael Ellis for the past eight years, has given him time to develop and strengthen this art. Brian is currently finishing his follow-up feature screenplay, "A Penny For Your Thoughts."

Mitchell Bard (Producer) made his directorial debut with the short film "Soup or Salad?", which he also wrote and produced, and it has screened at 17 film festivals in 1998. He is the author of several feature length screenplays, including the award-winning "Take Me Back," and produced the short film, "The Day I Ran Into All My Ex-Boyfriends," directed by Peter Pamela Rose. Mitchell is currently developing his feature film script, "Mergers & Acquisitions," which he will direct, and which is scheduled to begin shooting in the Spring of 1999.

Louis Mullen-LeRay (Director of Photography) works as a cinematographer and commercial director in New York and Los Angeles. His recent credits include Mitchell Bard's short film, "Soup or Salad?", a music video for star Tony Tone, and a self-financed feature film, "The Rhythm Method," which he wrote, directed, produced, shot, and edited. Louis studied film criticism and theory at the University of New Mexico.

Rocky Reid (Location Sound Mixer) has worked continuously on the independent film circuit including sound editing on the Sundance award winning "The Brothers McMullen", and as location sound mixer on the critically acclaimed "The Daytrippers." He most recently used his musical talents for re-mixing a "Gravity Kills" and "Crystal Method" song. MTV has also purchased an original song of his which aired on their animated series "Daria."

Liz Hanellin (Associate Producer/Still Photographer) served the same two roles in Mitchell Bard's short film, "Soup or Salad?". She was also the still photographer on "The Day I Ran Into All My Ex-Boyfriends," a short film directed by Peter Pamela Rose. Liz is a graduate of Queens college and the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and has studied photography at the School of Visual Arts.
