Who's On Board

Andrew Rudd is a professor at a little private college in Canton, Ohio. He's almost done editing a short film that has been struck by more plagues than the Egypt before Passover. He teaches a screenwriting course and more courses about the media. He writes screenplays and loves to produce creative work with good people. He's writing these little blurbs which is why his blurb includes no lists of his weaknesses (like, say, his brother Daniel's blurb does). That's what comments are for. Go crazy.

Daniel Rudd is an entrepeneur and artist who developed and runs STOCK20.com. He is Andrew's little brother and therefore not as sweet as Andrew, but still relatively sweet nonetheless. He writes music, produces documentary promotional videos for non-profits, performs music, builds websites, makes deals, concocts radical new ways to do things, makes a ton of friends everywhere he goes, and usually manages to offend and alienate a small contingent of any population.

Johnny Russell is a talented actor who's been working in Chicago, Pittsburgh and the East. He's been featured in many stage productions; worked in film, too. Johnny was selected for the prestigious and selective Steppenwolf internships and more recently has been admitted to the (also) prestigious MFA program at Penn State. We're thrilled to have Johnny playing the lead role in MULTILEVEL RELATIONSHIP and are excited that he'll most likely be doing something pretty cool in STICK IN THE MUD, too.

Emily Hisey is working as a producer on both of these films. Emily has racked up an impressive resume of working in key production roles in several college theatres in norhteastern, Ohio, but she's also been key in producing a number of short films for filmmakers in the region. Emily studied film in Los Angeles in 2006 where she also worked at Nickelodeon and produced and directed several short films.

Danielle Case just returned to the states from Florence, Italy where she completed the final semester of her education. Danielle, who is passionate about art, theatre and film, leverages her impressive managerial skills toward production with our films. She was offered an internship opportunity with the National Endowment for the Arts, but instead interned with the National Museum for Women Artists in Washington D.C.. She will spend a part of her summer this summer in New York City on a fellowship that she won to network with media producers there. She's currently also working at the Akron Museum of Art, named one of the most architecturally important museums in the U.S..
