EXECUTIVE PRODUCERS
Jayme Woj
Jayme is an actor, independent filmmaker, and fight choreographer. At times he also sings while covered in body paint as his musical alter ego, maybesoon. Acting credits include Gravesend (Amazon), Heartbeat (NBC), Underemployed (MTV), The cult horror film, "The Diabolical," and Hamlet at The Globe Theatre.
As a filmmaker, Jayme has self-produced multiple award-winning independent films and mini-series. He also loves helping and encouraging other actors to make their own projects. "Self-producing is one of the best tools actors have to empower themselves and their careers."

With more than 15 years of experience in swordplay, Aikido, Arnis, and hand-to-hand combat for the screen, his work as an action actor and fight designer includes credits on multiple Star Wars and Disney projects, Netflix’s Fuller House, The Globe’s Hamlet, and more.
Bethany Kay
Bethany Kay got her wit from thirteen years of Catholic school, her smirk from her Jersey family, and her curves from a very healthy love of her mom's tortellini with lemon cream sauce.
When she's not working on shows like Boardwalk Empire, Difficult People, Gotham, and Dietland, she is probably creating some devised theatre and clowning projects with friends or lending her business sense to any number of coaching clients she helps to make sense of this show business life: current clients have appeared on Broadway and in regional houses as well as on significant arcs onscreen. Recent: I KNOW THIS MUCH IS TRUE (Dir. Derek Cianfrance), MURDERVILLE (InstaMiniseries), Upcoming: PUDDYSTICKS (opp. Dan Bakkedahl), THE LIST (Universal opp. Clark Backo), BOOK FAIR (with TandemVision)
ASSOCIATE PRODUCERS
Joshua Schubart
Born and raised on Long Island, New York, Joshua Schubart has been working as a professional actor for over a decade. Joshua has been seen in projects ranging from indie films to walking the boards at the Metropolitan Opera. Some of his recent work includes a recurring role in the Amazon series The Tick, and appearances in Seven Seconds (Netflix) and High Maintenance (HBO). His voice can also be heard on a long list of audiobooks available on Amazon Audible, including Blue Summer, Lorelei and Blaze of Ecstasy. In addition to acting, Joshua is a highly skilled stunt man/stage combatant, and co-founder of the production company 2 Ladies & A Giant.
Joshua had a tough childhood, growing up homeless and in the foster care system. At 14, his foster parents put him in Catholic school, and his life took a turn for the better. He discovered acting in his early teens, as an escape from his day-to-day challenges. He would often say that acting literally saved his life, giving him the drive and motivation to make his dreams come true.
Joshua hopes his work in front and behind the camera will open doors for larger people in the industry, break the stereotypes, and prove that they are more than just the funny or bad guys.
Amanda Turen
Amanda is an actor, voice over artist, singer and banjo player in New York City. Her credits include numerous cartoons on several networks, commercials (on camera and VO), independent films and an upcoming Netflix appearance. Her favorite credit is the voice of pop star Chiko in Funimation’s “Dropout Idol Fruit Tart,” which allowed her to live out her dream of playing a fabulous anime girl.
In addition to her work in American media, Amanda has also performed internationally; her work has taken her to Toronto, the Atacama Desert in Chile, and even Meiji Jingu Stadium in Tokyo, where she performed live with Japanese pop group Nogizaka46. Having learned Japanese as a foreign exchange student in rural Okayama, that last gig is especially meaningful to her.
