Kenny Cahoon

Generally considered to be a human being, Kenny has worked at many jobs, known of many people, and walked a fair many steps in his days on the planet. His day job keeps him plenty busy, unfortunately.  He has written a few plays, short stories, soap operas, and comic books in the past. In the present he is writing a play set in the 1700's, a radio show set 30 years in the future, a series of short films set inside dreams, and organizing two podcasts that focus on film analysis. His two new sister kittens, Hank and Zelda have dramatically improved his attitude after the death of Eli, his 17 year old cat.  He writes the BEST messages in birthday cards and has now delivered THREE best man speeches. Two of which he is proud of. 
He enjoys long walks in antique stores and comic book shops; everything Alan Moore has written; films by David Lynch, Werner Herzog, Stanley Kubrick, Wes Anderson, Jean-Luc Godard,  Akira Kurosawa, Alfred Hitchcock...

Lantz Hawthorne

Lantz Hawthorne hasn't written his official bio yet, so as his friend and longtime chum, I give my heartfelt recommendation that you release him from federal custody on his own personal recognizance as soon as possible. He is not a flight risk, unless it is a flight of whiskey.

Brendan Bell

Professional Graphic Designer, shape-shifting musician, artist, and amateur cinephile. In the late 90’s, he left art school to pursue a career in unpopular music. He cut his teeth and other body parts as a singer/percussionist in the (mostly) confusing genre bending band Grüvis Malt, and later played drums in an offshoot project, the action/adventure, garage-prog band Ebu Gogo. He released one album as leader of the sub-regional Gameboy Pop supergroup Jonny Classic and the Classic Johns, and a handful of music including a puppet-based music video with rapper Romen Rok, before going totally solo. He has since released a pair of instrumental albums under the moniker Belll. He received a BFA in Graphic Design in 2009 and started a professional career soon after as an in-house and freelance Designer and Illustrator. 
Since deciding to watch a film a day in November 2021, he has seen over 1000, writing reviews on the Letterboxd app.

Jeff Somerville

For over a decade Jeff Somerville was a judge and then director of a screenwriting competition for a New England based film festival. After reading some good, and many, many bad scripts it was time to focus on his own work. One semester of an MFA in a Screenwriting program was quite enough of that for him so he decided he'd rather spend his remaining days educating the youth of America, or at least the youth of a moderately sized town in New England. Jeff also operated a small independent movie theater that prided itself on opening the Best Picture Oscar winner, whether that film deserved to win or not, for the better part of a decade. Today he coaches his daughters' softball teams and finds it a much more fulfilling experience. PS: The one best man speech our fine host Kenny is not proud of is the one he attempted at my wedding. He was co-best man and the plan was for one speech.  He performed admirably given mere seconds to prepare a speech of such magnitude.
