Landon Zakheim is most certainly not a Professional Astronaut. Do not believe him if he tells you this. He is a filthy liar who has never been to the far reaches of space. Also, if Drew Difonzo Marks is reading this, you owe me $40 and I want it now. One time, Landon was nominated for an MTV Movie Award, but he blew it. Now he must wander eternity in search of redemption. If found, please contact MTVu.

Forgoing a formal education, Matt mindlessly drew cartoons up until high school, when he set his sights on the awesome wealth, power, and egotism of filmmaking. He produced dozens of short films and a successful cable access TV series in high school, which was deemed funny enough to allow him to retain friends. His student film, "Television Show," went on to play at several film festivals and pick up a handful of awards, including Best Horror Film at the Imperial Beach Film Festival, regardless of the fact that it isn't really a horror film. Matt spent some time in Hollywood where he worked on a couple (awful) movie sets. He also worked in the National Lampoon offices until he realized that they stopped being funny over 20 years ago. His spoof of local commercials (viewable in "Boinky The Circle: Episode 1") was chosen as the MTVu Fresh Produce "Clip of the Week." Matt currently enjoys food, water, shelter, and oxygen.

If you don't want to read all of this just WATCH MY BIO CLIP AND "RITA"................. As long as I can remember, my schooling/life has taken place on a raft, on the crowded streets of Delhi, on Mt. Everest, on a camel safari across the Rajasthan desert, or wherever else my adventure travel guide/adventure photographer/yoga teaching parents job required them to be. I suppose you could call it ‘home schooling’ if you took into account that the world was my home as well as my classroom. Along the way I became a snowboarder, skier, surfer, and a professional Hula, Tahitian, and Balinese dancer…..

None of us are particularly bright and, believe it or not, we've never actually been in or around a film festival; which, in all likelihood, will remain the case. Roughly seventy percent of the gang isn't a film major (accounting and advertising, respectively). However, Thomas has Netflix and Josh likes Will Ferrell, so that works. Even still, despite innumerable deficiencies, we love film, sketch comedy, and making people laugh by whatever convenient means necessary. It's about all we got. Olan has a decent computer.

Alexander Bornstein was born in Burbank, CA on January 15, 1986. He lived there for several years before re-locating to Pennsylvania in 1989, and finally Florida in 2001. Alexander began making movies at the age of seven and since moving to Florida, started to pursue writing and directing.

Hello all, Brian Carroll here. I'm a writer/director at Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY. I specialize in short films within a genre I like to call "drama, told with a smile." I typically make fairly literary-based surrealist work without happy endings or three-dimensional characters, and somehow, the style serves me well.

I'm currently in production of a three-part film about various aspects of writing which is due to wrap sometime next month. And I swear to you, this one has a happy ending.

At Howard, a lot of students already have their own film groups. I learned really fast how, if no one could help you with filming at school, you had to do it all yourself. So I learned to edit, light, and direct; I became my own crew. At times, I would get frustrated because I felt like proving myself should not be something I had to do all the time. But Gordan Parks once said, “Many times I wondered whether my achievement was worth the loneliness I experience, but now I realize the price was small…The guy who takes a chance, who walks the line between the known and unknown, who is unafraid of failure, will succeed.”

Twin brothers James Dastoli and Robert Dastoli are Orlando filmmakers currently attending the University of Central Florida. Dastoli Digital began with computer graphics in the late 1990s and started making films in 1999.
The duo has made over 35 shorts, ranging from epic sci-fi to satirical comedy to quaint character pieces, all on a shoestring budget. Over the years, current low budget production and especially visual effects techniques have enabled them to create such feats as invade a digitally compiled theme park with flying saucers and create interior spaceship design for less than the price of an annual theme park ticket.
