Danielle  (Stephanie) started her career in NYC at the age of 9, landing a lead  role (Cindy Lou Who) in Broadway’s Touring show Dr. Seuss' "How the  Grinch Stole Christmas The Musical!.” Next, Danielle and her little  sister Madeleine were both cast as Von Trapp children in a North  American tour of "The Sound of Music.” Danielle and her sisters, Guilbot  Sisters Project (GSP), are also songwriters and musicians. They were  the youngest official performers at SXSW Music Festival in 2018.

Milo  (Stanley) surprised everyone when he boldly announced at preschool  graduation his plans to become an actor. Apollo 10 1/2 is his first  major acting break and in the process fell in love with filmmaking on  set at Troublemaker Studios. In the two years since filming Apollo, he's  starred in a music video for fan-favorite band Star Parks, two school  district theatre productions, and "Search & Destroy," an upcoming  short film from writer/director Alex Rosales. Milo's dream is to someday  do his own "huge" stunts.

Jessica  (Jana) is an actress, writer, musician, singer, aspiring filmmaker, and  all-around performer! She has written several screenplays and hopes to  bring one of them to life in the near future. In 2021 she won a B. Iden  Payne award (excellence in Austin theater) for “Outstanding Featured  Musical Performance” for her performance in an Original Work in the  Vortex Summer Youth Theater. She has written over 60 original songs, and  has released a few on iTunes and Spotify. She is an intern with  BraveMaker, and writes blogs for the BraveMaker website.

Catherine grew up gay in God’s country. She feared for her life at home with mentally ill parents and  out in the rural world of rednecks, where members of the LGBTQ+ and  BIPOC communities were killed for sport. She watched, trembling at six,  as hooded members of the KKK burned a giant cross. She heard about the  boy who was killed for giving a blow job. It’s no wonder that themes of  repression of women and minorities are omnipresent in her work. A  creative always on the fringes of mainstream society, her mission now is  to champion inclusivity. Catherine wants to add to queer cinema,  especially empowering lesbians, and invent a renaissance of interest in  our elders. She wants to place older women at the epicenter of story.  She wants to tell the stories of the overlooked and marginalized and  give a bullhorn to those who aren’t often given a voice. Catherine has  written numerous award-winning screenplays for features and TV, becoming  a fellow of the Middlebury Script Lab, attending the Stowe Narrative  Lab on a partial scholarship, and attending both the feature retreat and  TV lab at CineStory. She has directed four short films so far and will  be shooting her feature directorial debut this summer.
