| Zachary Armstrong |
|
|
| Director of Photography/Editor |
| Zachary Armstrong has edited three feature length projects, Suburban (Fruition Films, Cinequest Audience Favorite Choice Award), Bud Shank: Against the Tide (Jazzed Media, Aurora Award Winner), and A Test of Wills (Listen Productions), on which he was also cinematographer and still managed to snowboard over sixty days this past season. He has overcome many obstacles in his career, including a film degree from the University of Colorado. He graduated early after only eight years, earning him the nickname "Doogie Hauser, M.D." While the future is bright, Armstrong is just glad he doesn't have to edit wedding videos to buy the dog food anymore. |

| William Hahn |
|
|
| Screenplay / Will |
|
William Hahn was born in New Jersey, but relocated to Denver at the age of 2 in order to avoid having him acquire a Jersey accent. He was educated in the public school and State University system, the sum of which taught him how to correctly endorse a paycheck, and his multiplication tables all the way through 10’s. A multiple award winning stage actor, his ventures into the film world have been sporadic. His first appearance before the camera was in PERRY MASON: THE CASE OF THE RUTHLESS REPORTER, in which he did his best impersonation of a piece of cardboard. In 1999 he wrote and appeared in the short film LAUNDRY. In the summer of 2005 he played Professor Liebowitz in the feature film LOOKING FOR SUNDAY, and in 2006 he portrayed a mustachioed Bank Security Guard in the film SKILLS LIKE THIS, whose claims to fame are, of course, his mustache, but also that he screams the word “fuck” in a crowded bank on 2 separate occasions when his gun is stolen from him. A TEST OF WILLS is his third full-length script, but the first to be actually produced. When not working he tries to hone his photography and painting skills. Every day he reminds himself to spend some moments listening to the grass grow, which usually makes the people around him feel pretty uncomfortable. 9x10=90!
