BIO:

Jonathan's first script, Nora and Cyrano, was chosen by the Random House Writing Competition to be performed for an audience of 500+. Surviving the nervousness, a love of writing was born. Having shot shorts from the age of 10, writing and directing was a natural career choice. 4 years of classic visual arts training at New York's LaGuardia school of the Arts have inspired his passion for imagery. Beginning a career in Cinematography at 18, opportunities to work in Los Angeles, Myrtle Beach, and other cities--before beginning film school--have furthered his technical abilities. As a writer/director nonetheless, it has and always will begin with Nora and Cyrano: a deep concern for character and story.

BIO:

After earning the 2011 New York Women in Film and Television Emerging Female Filmmaker Award, Rachel began a career in cinematography that would take her to India, Antigua and Barbuda, Iceland, and Scotland. Within her first year and a half alone, as a DP, she shot for nine narrative short films and four documentaries. The devotion to script, character, and story that was needed to earn her award in 2011 has become a trademark of her style as a cinematographer. As described by one of her directors, "she doesn't just light scenes, she lights for character and subtext as well."
