Jeffrey Paschal

Creator, Director, Producer

"Casey"

Jeff Paschal is an actor and filmmaker living in Chicago. He grew up in Upstate New York with his life-long friend Mathias (*cough cough* next bio) and graduated from Northwestern University in 2016 with a major in Theatre. He is currently working with a Chicago theater company called Manual Cinema that performs shadow puppet shows in festivals around the world. His favorite candy bar is a Reese’s Fastbreak, but no one seems to have ever heard of it.

Matt Schutz

Writer, Associate Producer

"Kyle"

Matt is a playwright, actor, and administrator who has worked with several theatres around Chicago. Before Chicago, it was Iowa City at the University of Iowa, and before that, it was Canada. Before Canada, he lived in Texas. And before that, New Orleans (which makes the question "where are you from" pretty infuriating for him). Matt is a fierce supporter of new work, and is, most importantly, a through and through Ravenclaw.

Mathias Blake

Creator, Director, Producer

"Jessie"

Mathias is a voiceover, film, and theatre actor - now director & producer. An athlete, world traveler, and a full-time geek, storytelling and people have always been his passions. He can be found dancing in his kitchen with a spoonful of peanut butter, playing one of his three Dungeons and Dragons campaigns, or bothering his best-friend of 16 years (refer back to Jeff's bio).

Sean Magner

Director of Photography, Producer

Jim Alrutz

Sound Designer

Jim may be pursuing a JD (or a Juris Doctor law degree for the rest of us who don't know what that is and assumed it was a Scrubs reference), but he still composes and designs sound as part of his unrelenting war on his own free time.
