CONTRIBUTING ARTISTS:

One of the best parts of this project has been collaborating with some of the amazing independent artists in the Chicago area who have contributed their talent to this movie. Please take the time to click on their names and check out their marvelous work:

Clare Martin - Dir. of Photography/Art Director
We've been thrilled to work with Clare previously on Grave Invitations and The Lovecraft Syndrome, but on this movie we've really had a chance to showcase Clare's skills as a designer, as well as featuring much of her personal art and graphic work as Robyn's artwork. Please click on her name and buy some of her delightful t-shirts, mugs, etc. They're awesome!

Chris Fuller is an amazing composer that we are honored to have worked with before on The Lovecraft Syndrome and Sword of Hearts.

JOSH WOODWARD is an prolific and mulit-talented singer/songwriter based in Findlay Ohio. While looking for the perfect song to close the movie, we came across the amazing variety of moving music that he is spreading via the web. He's since become a personal fav. Go and support this remarkable artist - download & share his music, buy his albums, and help spread the word. Thanks, Josh! www.joshwoodward.com/

NOTES & SCRATCHES is a terrific Chicago Indie folk-rock band composed of Anika Balaconis, Joshua Dumas, Jason Eckerson, Robbie Hamilton, & Whitney Johnson, and they are as nice as they are talented. (Which is to say, "Very". :) You can't hear nearly enough of their song in the movie itself, but a different tune features pominantly in the Out-take reel on the DVD. It's a great song. Also, their great new album To The Other Side is available as a free download at Rock Proper. Go get it now!
