John L. Bader (narrator) Perhaps best known for his reoccurring role as killer Stanley Deeks on TV's The Practice, John has a BFA from Drake University, and later attended the National Theatre Insitute. He studied with Julie Bovasso and the Barrow Group in NY and was the co-lead in the world premiere of JT Rogers' White People with the Next Stage Company. He has also appeared in over 30 television commercials.
Wynn Tingley (Jesse) Wynn has been a baby model and later child actor appearing in commercials and local theatre as long as he or anyone can remember. He is home schooled, and active in volunteer work performing at local homes for the elderly. He is the voice on a number of educational software programs used in schools all across the country and is the star of the forthcoming indie feature Max Rules." He loves comics, reading and cats.
Dylan Cole (Stuart) "America's hottest rising young superstar" hated High School and loved Elvis and Dean Martin. He made us laugh at the auditions. We had to cast him as Stu. It didn't hurt that he was excellent in his the starring role in Cosmic Ray, a DV feature shot in the wilds of the Pacific Northwest. Despite tapes being sold on the internet, Dylan is adamant that he and Paris Hilton are just good friends.
Chase Goldsmith (Jesse's Dad) is one of the most active voice talents working in the Northwest, with a masculine baritone sound recognizable for many of his TV & radio spots. He left a career as a microbioligist working for the Dept of Defense in 1996 to persue his dream as a working actor and hasn't looked back. He divides his time between voice work all over the west coast and indie films and local theatre. He is happily divorced as of Summer 2003.
Keith Bearden (Co-writer/Director) is an award-winning screenwriter, television writer and producer. He was head writer on VH1's long-running Where Are They Now? (the #2 show on the network), has produced segments for the Independent Film Channel's Split Screen, and written specials for the Children's Television Workshop. His previous 16mm short Inertia was called "odd and hilarious" by the Seattle Times and was given four stars in Film Threat (the same rating given Star Wars and Raging Bull). The feature length version of The Raftman's Razor was a finalist at the 2002 Sundance Screenwriter's Lab.
Brad Buckwalter (Producer/Editor) has worked his way to
producer from the ground up, if you consider gaffing in
Hawaii ground level. It wasn't long before he started
editing award-winning pieces. Early on he was
recognized with an Emmy for Disney's Bill Nye the
Science Guy series. Inspired by the power of a good
idea he ventured into film work and edited Night
Deposit which won the Audience choice award at the 2000
Slamdance Film Festival. As the story behind the edit
became more intriguing to him, he searched for a more
creative role. Then after winning another Emmy for
Outstanding Short Feature for the 2002 Winter Olympics,
Brad found The Raftman's Razor and another step was
taken.
Joel Haskard (Co-writer/Story) Joel currently lives in the Twin Cities by way of the Pacific Northwest, Los Angeles, Bulgaria and Kansas. Joel believes everyone should read Norwood by Charles Portis. Joel intends to get a lot of bling-bling once the Raftman action figure hits stores. Joel can be reached at jhaskard@hotmail.com
Trent Siegel (Directory of Photography) shot his first roll of Super 8 at age 12, fell in love with motion picture photography, and never looked back. He graduated with honors from the Rochester Institute of Technology, and has since worked with commercial, television and industrial producers of all stripes. His long list of projects include national spots for Microsoft, Coca Cola and Washington Mutual and broadcast programming for Will Vinton Studios, the History Channel, TNT and Turner Classic Movies.
Sharon Eagan (Production Design/Effects Director) The
moment the devil hit the screen during Night on Bald
Mountain in Fantasia, Sharon knew what she wanted to
do. By age 13, she was trying to recreate Ray
Harryhausen's cyclops with clay animation. Today,
though it may not be as glamorous, she works in both
film and television creating graphics and animation.
She's colored, composited, animated, rotoscoped, fold,
spun and mutilated for the likes of NOVA, NBC,
Showtime, Turner Classic Movies and films appearing at
Sundance and other international competitions.
Múm (Music) Getting talent from all over the US wasn't
enough, so we turned to a band that records in an
abandoned lighthouse outside Reykjavik, Iceland for the
original score. Gunnar is an ex-club DJ, Kristen is a
classically trained musician, and Örvar began making
music to accompany the video games he was creating.
They have two CDs out (not counting all the quasi-legal
remix records), a third on the way, and tour all over
the world. We love their cliché-free blend of acoustic,
electric and computer sounds, and are happy clams to be
working with them. But the long distance charges are
killing us. Check out www.randomsummer.com
Lisa Garr (Costume Design) Lisa is a recent graduate of Western Washington University, where she earned her B.A. in Theatre Arts with concentrations in costume design and playwriting. She designed for numerous shows while at WWU, including Boy Meets Girl and Over the River and Through the Woods. Her work on The Raftman's Razor has already earned her more film work, as she is designing the upcoming feature The Dream Garden.
