CREDITS AND THANK YOUS:
CAST
Sean P. Lavin, Father
- My brother in arms, from the beginning to our undiscovered end.
Lezli Alley, Mother
- Lezli swooped in and saved me in the last moments of casting, meeting and beating my expectations for her role.
Connor Webb, Danny
- Connor kept the production light with his charming smile and curious nature – he reminded me of why I never want to grow up.
Brooke DeBetties, Melissa
- Professional through and through, talented as well as dedicated beyond her years – a rare find to live and learn by.
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR
Adam Amberden
- He managed to hit every curve ball I threw at him during production. And he just makes me laugh by being himself. Thanks Adam!
CINEMATOGRAPHY BY
Matt Dow
- Another homerun hitter. He backed all my plays no matter how ridiculous – Matt is the ultimate “Fixer” because he just made things work without even breaking a sweat.
ASSISTANT CAMERA
Anne Caballero
- When comes to camera positioning and framing, you either got it or you don’t – Anne’s got it… and then some!
GAFFER
José Sanchez
- Mister suave! When Sanchez speaks everything is just smooth and cool. Like a warming shot of tequila.
Archie Arenas
- When Archie smiles, it could be good or it could be bad, but at least you’ll know you can laugh about it later.
GRIPS
Michael Rossetti
- There ain’t anyone that knows their production stuff like the Rossetti – he’s scary that way. Nuff said.
Lester Corpuz
- Mister nice. You just can’t go wrong with this guy – calm, collected – I dare anyone to claim that they don’t like Lester. Lester’s cool.
SOUND
ReyRonald Pineda
- Yeah… um, if there’s anyone I can easily blame for things going wrong on set, Rey would be the perfect scapegoat. But the guy has a heart of gold and he’s a really good friend. So I can only blame myself for liking the guy too much. Thanks Rey.
PRODUCTION COORDINATOR
Glenda Sherrell
- Always there with a winning enthusiasm. Thanks Glenda!
PRODUCTION ASSISTANTS
David Philip Miller – Thanks David!
Nicholas Pasqua – Nice guy. Thanks Nick!
Miho Shindo – I ended up marrying this PA.
MAKE-UP
Jennifer Kroll
- What is “The Richter Effect”? Well great performances framed by great makeup.
CATERING
Diane Timmons
IT Catering
- The food was good – Diane took good care of us and you know there’s nothing better than a hot meal after working your butt off.
EDITING BY
Sam K. Yano
- I wouldn’t trust my baby with anyone else.
SPECIAL THANKS TO
Rory Kelly
- The man, the myth, the legend. The god-father of my film production education.
