Alex refuses to send me a bio. So, here’s what I’ll say of him: he’s an artist. He’s funny. His facial hair causes him to be unrecognizable at times, meaning he can envelop different roles like a chameleon. He’s a good friend and a fantastic creator. Every project I’ve worked on with him has been a joy.
Jade ALSO refuses to send me a bio. But that’s okay, she’s awesome at what she does. A completely fearless actress, Jade has vomited in not one but TWO Nightowl Pictures productions. She climbed out of a toilet covered in poo (chocolate), and even caused me to feel nauseous on Antibody due to her ability to replicate the act of vomiting.
Luca is the official mascot of Nightowl Pictures. Not only is she unbearably cute, she’s also an accomplished filmmaker in her own right. Born on September 19, 2009, Luca got right to work with her first short, “Curiosity Creeps Slowly.”
