LYDIA HOOKER (EMMA)

Lydia grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee as #6 in a family of 9 kids (no, they weren't Catholic). From a very young age she was obsessed with film and would often binge watch the classics (1930s films being her favorite). Fast forward to the summer before senior year of college. She and her friends went on a road trip to Los Angeles and it clicked that she didn't have to get a tedious 9 to 5 job as an accountant. After graduating, she moved out to Los Angeles and has been acting ever since!

CHRIS LAW (KURT)

Entertainment has been my light in a decade of darkness. I lost my father at the age of 14 and my mother at the age of 19. Losing the two pillars of my life and being left completely alone was a gut wrenching beginning to my journey. Growing up all that got me through those dark days was professional wrestling. Entertainment took me from one reality and placed me firmly in an alternate one. I am now a working professional wrestler and actor traveling from the Palm Springs area out to Los Angeles. Dreams do come true. And the one thing that matters the most is never giving up. I live a life that I dreamed of having.

PAUL KENNEDY JR (OSCAR)

I grew up traveling the world. My primary modes of expression being aggressive abstract non-dimensional wall sketching, scream singing, and recording newscasts and movies on the family video camera. After finishing high school I set out to follow my childhood dream of becoming a navy seal. Completing the grueling training to become a United Stated Deep Sea Diver is one of my proudest accomplishments. That being said, nearly five years of service was enough in my book, so I set out to follow my next dream of getting educated. Having zero direction coupled with a debilitating fear of public speaking, I decided to start with speech and theater classes in order to overcome this mental obstacle. Four semesters later I was completely in love with theater history and performance. My fears still existed but I could see myself developing. After completing college with a Mechanical Engineering degree in Texas, and with heartstrings at full tug, I found a job in Los Angeles so that I could support my pursuit of a career as an artist, as an actor.

NICK KOVALENKO
​Director of Photography
Visually artistic kid, who ran away from Ukraine, turned to be a filmmaker in Los Angeles, CA. Visual literacy and high creative standards keep him guarded from the crowd.

Hungry couch-huger, was born in country that got shattered and wiped of the planet earth like a plague, only to be remembered and fantasized in modern liberal population. Trust in himself, desire to explore, and recklessness of ideas are some characteristics that he posses.
