Kyle Boynton is the executive producer, taking on the pre-production hell singlehandedly. From location scouting to wrangling cast and gathering crew, Kyle sets the team up for success every time. With a long history of theatre/improv and a love for writing, Kyle is as much at home in production as he is in pre-production.
Erik Showacy has been involved with video production for most of his life. Despite his experience in a variety of roles on set, he is happiest sitting in the Director’s chair - though his crew will swear he’s never off his feet during a production. Erik has earned Best Direction for Soul Pending (2022), Invaders Beyond the Sponge (2023), and Best Actor for Flight Risk (2021).
Kaitlin N. Larson has been an editor for nearly two decades, completing hundreds of projects from narrative films, television, and corporate content. For Film Vandals, she has brought home Best Editing for Flight Risk (2021) and Borderline (2017). She's also passionate about animation, writing, and special effects, utilizing these skills with us.
Jimmy-Dean Candella is some sort of comedy savant. Upon helping co-found Film Vandals, he immediately jumped in front of the camera and began spreading mirth and laughter like scurvy on a colonial frigate…or maybe black plague during the dark ages. You get it, the guy is hilarious.
