« Geno DiMaria | Owner
Geno is a 20 year old who started out making movies with his brothers and friends at the ripe old age of 13. When he’s not furiously studying for one of his many upcoming CLEP tests (he’s getting a degree while spending practically nothing), he’s writing scripts, hanging out with his family, or getting a slush from Sonic. He’s a very faithful person and listens to the Lord’s voice in all his ventures.

« John Naylor | Crew
It was in 2004 that John started to seek out ways that he could share the love of Christ and the glory of His name in a powerful way through his life. Film making is one of those ways. John comes from a large family and loves being around people. Working together with a crew toward the same goal and purpose is something he really enjoys and is encouraged by. On set John particularly likes lighting, finding it very interesting and challenging to try to copy natural light to make the scenes look real and soft or hard - or even adjust the lighting for the scene or story to show emotion. Lighting is an amazing tool, often overlooked.
