Dan grew up in Goshen, Utah, population 945. He earned his BFA in animation from Brigham Young University. Upon graduation, he moved to Southern California where he lives with his wonderful wife and four children. He works as a lighter in visual effects and animation. His credits include Alvin and the Chipmunks, The Incredible Hulk, and Tangled. He loves writing and telling stories, and has several novels in the works. This is his first short film. P.S. He really likes Batman.
Michael composes music in Rochester, New York, and spends limitless hours enjoying modern film scores from all genres. Originally from Payson, Utah, his previous work includes two independently produced albums of instrumental music, including Color Coded, available through iTunes and Amazon. Hansen’s degrees have absolutely nothing to do with the music, but include a BS in International Business Management from Utah Valley University, and a MS in Print Media, specializing in Color and Imaging Science from Rochester Institute of Technology in New York, where he currently lives with his wife and three children. Visiting Hans Zimmer’s Remote Control Productions studio remains on Hansen’s bucket list
