Dan Wilbur
Dan is a younger member of the group straight from Cleveland's St. Ignatius High School. His dream, like most, is to become the owner of the largest french cheese company in all of Europe. But, while in the states, he focuses on perfecting his stage talents at the Beck Center for the Arts in Lakewood.

This is his first film and looks forward to working on new projects in the near future.

Mike Bove
Mike Bove doesn't know much yet about anything, but that could be perhaps because he's a high school sophomore. He's never been to an acting class in his life and has only really made one short film, entitled "The Mysterious Orange" which goes over generally well. He's getting better at networking with others of his ilk and will be appearing in a short film or two soon to come. Look out for his talents, he's slick like a cat and vicious like a bear when it comes to getting the right footage and making good video. Hell yes."
