She is currently working on a project for Nickelodeon's "Blues Clues" where she will be creating a fantasy children's playroom.

Cinematographer, Boyd Estus, who also collaborated on Alien Sneezed on Brook Street, shot the Academy Award winning The Flight of the Gossamer Condor and the Academy Award nominee Eight Minutes to Midnight as well as many Emmy winning television productions. His feature credits include the recent Good Will Hunting, Foreign Affairs, Kurt Vonnegut's Between Time and Timbuktu, Dawn of Our Nation and the Klezmer music feature A Jumpin' Night in the Garden of Eden.

Acting Coach Jeremy Solomons has worked with children and adults in Community Theater for over 20 years. A resident of Brookline, Jeremy is currently the Drama Artist-in-Residence at the Heath School, Brookline and a Professor of Theater at Massasoit Community College and of English at Suffolk University.
