Russell Brown is one of my favorite people in the world. His films include Race You to the Bottom (2005), The Blue Tooth Virgin (2008), and Loren & Rose (2022).

Lindsay Burdge played Mandy in Seasons 2, 3 (still unreleased), and 4 of The Show About the Show. She also acted in my adaptation of James Joyce's Ulysses (also still unreleased). She also acted in Joe Swanberg's Easy, Hannah Fidell's A Teacher, and Karyn Kusama's The Invitation.
Bill Brown is one of my favorite filmmakers. He is also the author of Dream Whip, my favorite zine. We started a video correspondence in 2001 in which we sent video letters back and forth to each other until 2005.
Eleonore Hendricks is an actress and casting director who played herself in The Show About the Show. She also plays Molly Bloom in my not-soon-to-be-released adaptation of James Joyce's Ulysses.
Jacques Servin is one of the founders of the Yes Men, a prankster activist group whose work was profiled in The Yes Men (2003), The Yes Men Fix The World (2009), and The Yes Men Are Revolting (2014). We also co-taught a class at the New School in which we made a film with our students called How to Overthrow the US Government (Legally).

Maxwell di Paolo is a filmmaker and sound recordist. We collaborated on "365 Stories I Want to Tell You Before We Both Die" and he did all the sound engineering for "I tried recording myself all day every day for 365 days but it was destroying all my relationships so I started a daily audio journal instead but that was even more destructive."
