| EDITOR Russell Anderson |
| Russell Anderson, formerly from Ramsey, New Jersey, began filmmaking in 5th grade after discovering a full set of camera and keying equipment for 120 dollars at a local garage sale. This led to his first fully green screened short film at 11 years old, paving the way for his future. His amateur film troupe, Cornfield Productions, produced over 40 short films from 1994 to 2003. A graduate of Quinnipiac University with degrees in both Film/Video and Digital Design, Russell wishes to one day unlearn everything taught to him in school. To help in this venture, he moved on to co-found Greyfade Media, an alternative comedy and performance troupe focused on pushing the limits of interactive video and audio through such groundbreaking applications as MAX/MSP. In the real world, Russell spent six months working as an office production assistant for FangoriaTV, but is particularly proud of the year and a half he spent with Sirk Productions. There, he worked on the award-winning documentary ANYTOWN, USA, as well as the upcoming film SEVERE CLEAR, a documentary following the life of one marine during his tour in Iraq. He currently resides in Hollywood, CA working as a freelance editor and motion designer. |
| I was born and raised in a small town nestled in the foothills north east of Los Angeles called Sierra Madre. I have been a photographer for as long as I have been able to hold a camera. I have lived all over the state of California, in South Carolina and Florida. While in South Carolina I was a police officer, a Firefighter, and Emergency Medical Services. My stint in public safety lasted for approximately ten years. Even though I have spent time outside of California, Southern California, specifically the Los Angeles area is my home. I love LA, beautiful mountains, wonderful beaches, incredible islands, and about everything else imaginable in between. My oldest and dearest friend, Eric Forsberg is a film writer and director as is his father, Rolf Forsberg. As a child I spent much time with him and his father on movie sets and as a result I try to integrate my photography into the same. For me it’s the best of both worlds, doing what I enjoy the most in the setting I enjoy the most. Being involved in the film making process is like wrapping myself in a warm blanket of creativity, I thrive on the energy. in the immortal words of Stewie Griffin, my hero, "VICTORY IS MINE!" http://www.sdbphotography.com |

She also did internships with UPN, CBS, and NBC, and the writers' office of the NBC soap "Passions." She was hired to work in post-production on the "Dr. Phil" show after three hours as an intern.
