After failing freshman math and working at Whole Foods for a summer with Ethan, Isaac (IP) graduated from The Ohio State University in 3 years with a degree in English and Entrepreneurship, then he said, “ F*** the Cold” and moved back to SoCal ASAP to pursue a screenwriting career. While crashing his cousin’s sofa and writing his own screenplays, IP was mentored by a writer on HBO’s The Newsroom, moonlighting as a marketing consultant for startups in the Health and Wellness space. Craving an opportunity to engage in impactful storytelling, IP reunited with his childhood friend, Ethan, to create compelling projects and push the boundaries of the digital age.

Chandler Evan
Founder, Director of Production, Stuntman
Chandler attended St. Lawrence University on a soccer scholarship, where he was voted rookie of the year and led his team to back-to-back conference championship victories. He made his way back to San Diego, CA, rekindling his passion for video editing and filmmaking, creating a portfolio that caught the eye of Piacomm Media Agency, who hired him to work on videos for clients like HP & Penske. When he’s not editing mind-boggling videos, you can find Chandler surfing with his GoPro, making smoothies, or walking his husky, Juneau.
