Michael Dale Brown (producer, director, writer, editor, videographer) has been making experimental films with Roger Mexico since they meet in college. He has written children’s animation for TV, as well as two really bad low-budget feature films you’ve probably never seen. He manages the Costa Mesa Playhouse, where he directs, acts, and writes — his alien invasion play “Earthlings Beware!” having been staged there twice. His video company, Back of the Mind Productions, is currently completing “Patron Saint of Sideshow,” a feature documentary about the auteur director of a small theater and her battle with breast cancer. A member of MUFON (Mutual UFO Network), Mike is also writing a stage adaptation of “Alien Highway.”
Roger Mexico (producer, director, writer, videographer) is a filmmaker and journalist working in Oaxaca, Mexico. He studied documentary filmmaking with George Stoney, film criticism with Nick Roddick and writing with John Rechy. He has traveled throughout Southeast Asia, Europe, North Africa and Mexico documenting music, ritual and theater practices. He is producing a documentary on the jazz monologist Lord Buckley as well as profiles on the artist Shinzaburo Takeda and butoh dancer Tadashi Endo. He is a member of the Society of Professional Journalists.
Robert Fowler (director, videographer) has produced an off-Broadway play, worked as a researcher for Harry Reasoner at CBS News, produced and directed a documentary on open-boat whaling, “The Hunt,” and co-written and directed a feature film, “Below the Belt.” He recently completed writing “The Gun Club,” a book about the history of a WWII U.S. destroyer and a fateful naval battle, soon to be published by McFarland Books.
