Emily Binns
SCREENWRITER | PRODUCER
Emily’s passion for film runs all the way back to her earliest childhood memories. Her career has included creative direction, screenwriting, and she’s held just about every role possible on a film set. Crafty is not her fav. Born and raised in Midland, TX she earned a BA in Communications from University of Texas of the Permian Basin and was heavily involved in their theater program. She’s an avid sourdough bread maker and keeps us healthy on set with her tinctures and teas. In another life Emily would have loved to be a professional contemporary dancer. Fun fact she loves to shop and has tons of clothes but her fav accessory is a good ol baseball cap. Biggest fear: dying on a rollercoaster.

Kendall Bryant
DIRECTOR | PRODUCER
Kendall was an actor throughout elementary and high school, but put it on hold to serve in the United States Marine Corps. A Gulf War veteran, he returned to build successful businesses and community service organizations. In 2012 he shifted his attention back to film and has since produced and directed internationally distributed and award winning short films, documentaries, web-series and feature films. Interesting factoid about Kenny is that he prefers not to cook and eats almost every meal out. In his free time he enjoys golf and lounging with his cat. Biggest fear: his wicked slice on the golf course.
