CO-FOUNDER / PRODUCER
Melanie Hall
Melanie Hall hails from the great state of Pennsylvania, which is far better than being from New Jersey. She received her master’s degree in Film Production before finding work as a producer’s assistant on several blockbuster films from Paramount, Universal Studios, Warner Bros., Sony Pictures, and Lionsgate.
Besides being the award-winning producer on SUDDEN DEATH!, RESEARCH., INSIDE THE EXTRAS STUDIO, I HATE IT!, and MURDER? Melanie has worked in development and production on such major motion pictures as the MISSION IMPOSSIBLE franchise, GHOST RIDER, REIGN OVER ME, THE GOOD SHEPHERD, DOOMSDAY, and GHOST IN THE SHELL.
CO-FOUNDER / WRITER / ACTOR
Kahle McCann
In the words of Adam Hall, "Kahle McCann is one of the finest gentlemen I've ever met ever in my whole life...and you can quote me on that...or my name's not Adam Hall!" And his name was Adam Hall, so that's how we know it's true.
Kahle is an award-winning playwright, author, improvisor, musician (term loosely used), and actor. Though, surprisingly, he cannot dance; making him just shy of the consummate entertainer.
Kahle is the lyricist behind SUDDEN DEATH! and the co-writer of RESERACH., I HATE IT!, MURDER?, INSIDE THE EXTRAS STUDIO, and THE DEATH OF RASPUTIN.
