*About Us and the Project*

We’re both graduates of Case Western Reserve University who are now in our
final semester of the Media Arts and Filmmaking program at Tri-C. Our goal
is to produce character-focused shorts that can serve as professional-grade
additions to both our reel and yours.


Our previous work includes two episodes of *Arcadia*, a series of vignettes
about a fictional Ohio suburb (episode 1: https://vimeo.com/302758606,
episode 2: https://vimeo.com/302751121), and a music video for “Limit” by
local rapper C.A.L (https://vimeo.com/300283709).
