The Team
Dominic Searles - Director/Editor
Alignment: Chaotic Evil Better known as Scorpion (全蠍人, "Full Scorpion Man"), is a resurrected ninja in the Mortal Kombat fighting game series as well as the mascot of the games. Dominic found his love for film stemmed from B-Rated Horror movies like Evil Dead II, and Lars Von Trier’s films, much to everyone else’s distaste. At Sheridan College, Dominic has focused his full attention into becoming his own idealised director that not only can point the finger, but know what he’s talking about when he does. |
Sydney MacRea - Producer
Alignment: Chaotic Good Sydney has always loved storytelling and the staple fantasy films such as Lord of the Rings. She grew up wanting to live in another world and wanting to be a part of the amazing stories in children’s films like Pirates of the Caribbean and The Lion The Witch and The Wardrobe. This led her to follow her love of film to Sheridan, specializing in screenwriting. |
Chris Haiko- Co-Director/Writer
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral When Chris finally left his basement, after watching exactly one thousand movies (mostly nameless horror films, dumb arthouse films, and South Korean thrillers), he decided he would become a filmmaker. If he’s not listening to obscure electronic albums, he can usually be found writing scripts and drinking iced coffee; if you ever see him not doing one of these things, please contact his co-director, Dom, for further instruction. |
Hubert Maliszewski - Director of Photography
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral Hubert found his love for both fantasy and cinema at about the same time; when he discovered the Lord of the Rings films at an early age and realized he wanted to become both a filmmaker and a hobbit. Ever since he’s had a love of genre films, particularly horror, that’s informed the way he approaches his work at Sheridan College. He’s a pretty good cinematographer at this point but still hasn’t figured out a way to become a hobbit. 
Zacky Makeen - Location Sound Mixer
Alignment: Neutral Good If he's not doing anything sound related, you'll find Zacky consuming any sort of fantasy, whether that be films, video games and even a session of D&D. After watching Lord of the Rings as a child, he started his journey down the rabbit hole of fantasy and film, and eventually transitioning into a focus on boom |
