WHO WE ARE
We are a collaborative of artists that have an immense passion for storytelling and film. We all live and breathe the projects we create, and it's what gives us the energy to live. All of us are long time college friends and collaborators, this project will be the last one based out of our Chicago home. This fall, most of our crew will be branching out across the country to persue some amazing film opportunities. While Chicago will always be our home, we have to say goodbye (temporarily) and want to make our final film here, one for the books.
CAST AND CREW
Our cast and crew is comprised of some very talented artists, all with seasoned backgrounds. Individually each has made several short films and music videos. This past year alone we've created a feature film and over 50 episodes of national television.
Aidan Brezonick - Writer/Director
T.J. Connor - Producer
Chris Birkmeier - Cinematographer
Nic Collins - Ernest Hemingway
