Brad Fox
Producer

Brad has been producing independent film and video content since his 1990 short film Splat (which featured reversed and time-lapsed footage of him throwing fruit off his parents deck). Since then Brad has written, directed, and produced a wide range of films (including many notable efforts with a teen-aged Matt). A BFA graduate of the Film Production stream of York University, Brad was a 2000 recipient of a Canadian Academy of Film and Television award for his short film Dangerous Heroes. Brad has spent many years working in various production and finance capacities on Canadian independant theatrical feature films and high-profile International co-productions through his lengthy associations with Expletive Productions, Strada Films, and Serendipity Point Films. He is the executive producer and co-founder of Rocket Ace Moving Pictures.

His coffee skills have been legendary since 2003.

Rob Fox
Best Boy

Rob has been providing "constructive criticism" to his brother in one form or another since the early 80's. It is this "encouragement" alone which has spurred Brad on to bigger and better projects. Rob is happy be to able to bring his extensive lifting, carrying, and holding skills to the production (not to mention his forum moderation abilities). Rob has also lent his acting talents to the short films Sweetener, Meanwhile in Alberta..., and The News Today with Robby Fox as well as the continuing role of Duncan in Rocket Ace's Dead End Days. He has a Bacon Factor of three. When not participating in gruelling shoots or trying to wrest control of the television away from the editing team to watch hockey, he can be found wielding his commerce degree like a mighty hammer in the glorious service of the investment industry.

Matt Hoos
Cory / Director

An honors graduate of the Vancouver Film School, Matt is particularly proud of his numerous professional theatre productions coast to coast including The Cripple of Inishmaan at the Belfry Theatre in Victoria and the Arts Club Theatre in Vancouver, Dead Serious at Calgary's Pleiades theatre, and the Evergreen Theatre Societies' award-winning Everything Under the Sun. Matt was also thrilled to be an ensemble cast member of Calgary's prestigious Shadow Productions for four seasons, and (with Erin Whitehead) Crazy like Jesus the 1999 British Columbia Improv Champions. A co-founder of Laughing Day Productions Matt mounted both of their cross-Canada tours with the plays On Deaf Ears and Menace. Head of Production for Rocket Ace Moving Pictures, Matt directed the 48-episode Internet zombie serial Dead End Days and has also directed the 2005 Canadian Comedy Award winning sketch comedy act The Imponderables.

Erin honed her acting skills through the Ryerson University Theatre programme, as well as the Vancouver Film School. She credits her family for her strength and creativity, as well as her friend Kristin for enthusiastically encouraging Erin to pursue her love of the stage and screen.
