Meet the team and read our story

We come from different cities, different backgrounds and different journeys. But we’ve joined forces by a love of story.

We’ve been in entertainment, education and technical spaces. We’ve been at agencies and nonprofits, and been independent creators.

Through all this, we’ve learned that together we can be three pieces to a great story.

  • Joe Kaiser

    IDEAS GUY

    Before working in film and comedy, Joe was a toddler in the 90s. Then briefly a grocery store stock boy. Then he moved on to writing stories. Joe has directed, produced and hosted documentaries winning several industry awards and hitting film festivals around the globe. He’s performed in comedy clubs, theaters and private events in addition to writing and acting in sketches to millions of views online, accompanied with just as many comments telling him he is not funny. He wanted to think of a witty way to end his bio but couldn’t.

  • Remo Wakeford

    PICTURES GUY

    Born in the year of the monkey, Remo enjoys the wilder side of life, like car racing, horse back riding through the mountains and the occasional axe throwing competition. Also the calmer side, like morning walks and creating in his kitchen. Luckily for him, wild and calm have both turned into award winning films. Honing his eye over the last decade has given him the ability to identify the visual story and deliver it in captivating ways.

  • Chris Lentino

    DIGITAL GUY

    Before building brands online, Christopher was just a guy in Chicago with a political science degree and a vague plan. That plan somehow turned into running social media for organizations reaching hundreds of thousands of people, overseeing viral campaigns with millions of views, and winning a few Telly Awards along the way and coming in as a runner-up to the Mother of Dragons for another. He specializes in short-form video, platform-native storytelling, and making brands feel human, which, given how much time he spends on the internet, felt like a natural fit. When he's not buried in content calendars or TikTok analytics, he's probably watching something he'll later turn into a reference nobody else on the team gets. He lives in Chicago. He went to Loyola — twice.

Creative partners

Mat Quinn

Tri-athlete, novelist, immune to criticism. Mathew is none of these things. He does, however, conceptualize a good story. Almost 20 years in the GFX industry have equipped him with the skills to create and execute a project from scratch. A background in 3D animation combined with motion graphics produces high-end visuals. You could say a one-man motion pipeline if that sounded cooler. 

Motion Graphics

Vicky-Lee Vermeulen

Artist and designer for most of her life, Vicky has been an industry graphic designer for over 18 years. She has won in-house design awards, namely for best logo design and most creative. Creative direction and solutions to design are her passions. She enjoys horse riding, padel, creative time with kids, and socializing with friends.

Design Unicorn

An editor & director based in Brooklyn, New York. He has worked on feature films, music videos, web series, commercials, social media content and more. His feature film  “The Universe Where” (Writer/Director) is available to stream on Tubi and his next film “Chow Time” (Editor) is coming soon.
