The staff includes Patrick McCullough, Writer, Director, Actor and Producer, who just finished shooting his third feature film, *Loop, and also a finalist in the Sundance Film Festival Screenwriting Program, and Chosei Funahara, mentored by Akira Kurosawa* (the renowned Japanese filmmaker, director of films such as Ran and The Seven Samurai).
