He is dedicated to telling original, experimental, and honest stories that find funny in the absurd and suspense in the surreal.

Wyatt graduated from Stanford University with an B.A. in English Literature in 2014 and shortly after moved to Los Angeles to pursue screenwriting. Since connecting in 2015 with his collaborator and Magpie Factory co-founder, Will Hamilton, he’s presented two of their four short films at film festivals such as Cannes, Austin, Hollyshorts, and Newcastle.

Harry has been acting since he was 9 years old. He had hoped that finding success on stage, and developing charm and presence and comedic timing would make him attractive, and 9 year old Harry was really ugly. At least that's what his chief rivals told him. But it wasn't long until his shallow pursuit turned into something more, and he fell in love with performing on a sincere level. Getting his hands on as many projects as he could every year, and graduating from Fordham University with a double major in acting and directing, he's performed in more than 60 plays, films, and web series. He has come to wholeheartedly believe in the place storytelling has in our society, by shaping our assumptions, creating our myths, and hopefully making people feel more alive. When he's found a project he believes in, he's happy to work as whatever cog is necessary in the story-machine. Obviously he would prefer the cog to be attractive, charming, and with great comedic timing. Usually he has to settle for the comedic timing.
