Projects worked on: A Different Mind, Warehoused

Shane started making movies like every other kid in the 90s: with his parents’ VHS camera and a handful of adventurous friends. In fact, deep in a random hard drive somewhere exists epic paintball war films and cheesy Sci-Fi adventure stories that any 10-year-old would be proud of.

After graduating from Emerson College’s prestigious film program, Shane worked as a cinematographer for over 8 years—in that time shooting 6 feature length narratives and several dozen short films and commercials.

Story has always been the pinnacle of importance for his projects, and the more he studied story, the more he wanted to tell his own stories. In addition to cinematography, Shane has been writing scripts for short films and feature length narratives as well as directing and producing commercials and branded content for some of the world’s largest companies.

Since 2006, twin brother writing and directing duo Matthew and Jared Young have been producing memorable content. Beginning in the faith based world they created the children’s television show The Fantastic World, as well as several Feature films for Phil Vischer’s, (The creator of VeggieTales) Jelly Telly Network. The brothers’ success in the family film world has not prevented them from venturing into the mainstream. The twins have directed Tom Sizemore, in the sci-fi thriller Remnants. They also had a hand in producing two more features, one starring the legendary Burt Reynolds (Hamlet and Hutch) and the other, Oscar winning actress Monique Hicks (Blackbird). Untapped Together is the brothers first feature length documentary.

Eric Jaffe was born in Miami Beach, FL, to a man and a woman. As a toddler, he didn't know what he wanted to be. "These were wasted years," he recalled in a since-deleted blog post. Fortunately, at the age of nine, Eric stumbled across some ambition and decided to go where no Jewish boy had gone before: into the film industry. After making some terrible films in high school, Eric talked his way into the prestigious Florida State University's Film School to make more terrible films and earn a degree. He graduated in early 2014. Since then, Eric moved out to Los Angeles and stumbled his way into creating digital content for NBCUniversal, FBE, New Form Entertainment and Omaze. His work has been viewed over 500 million times and reached the YouTube trending list on 16 separate occasions. He attributes his success to dumb luck and a way with word. "Record Safari" is his first feature-length documentary project.
