THE Collaborators
Rebecca Adler (Director) has been a clinical social worker for over 10 years, specializing in therapeutic and creative work with youth. She is interested in exploring subcultures, social justice issues, and the representation of individual psychology as it translates to sound and the moving image. Gender, as it is socially constructed, is false. Hopefully, this film gives us all more freedom to live our own definitions.
Jimmy Spice (Composer) liquidskulls.bandcamp.com. Musical progeny. Writes a song a week on average. Embodies the creation and destruction of the life force itself. Cares about humans and his attention and heart can be felt in all of his music.
Tony Costello (Editor) was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. He studied film at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago and earned his MFA from the University of Texas at Austin. His works have played in festivals and galleries across the United States. He brings a sense of wonder and exploration to his work, opening more questions then presenting answers about the material. On this film, his editing has great compassion and is responsive to each character. He currently resides in Austin, Texas, with his wife and two children.
