Todd Carney – Writer
Todd Carney is an award-winning writer (Best Screenwriting, Caution Sign, 2009 Dark Carnival Film Festival) but he had to “get a real job.” He has been a Post Production Supervisor in Southern California for over ten years. He began writing and illustrating little books before Kindergarten. At the age of 9, he said, “I have to get it down or it will be lost forever.” He is known in his hometown, Bloomfield, Indiana, as the High School boy who taped all the ball games but never watched, except maybe the girls’ teams. He would write stories during halftime. Jennifer is his wonderful wife and college sweetheart. They graduated in 1994 from Northwestern University in Evanston, IL. They have our only two grandchildren, Aidan (6) and Donovan (2), that miss their grandparents, Walter and Carol Carney, in Indiana. Love, Mom and Dad (BIO CONTRIBUTED BY TODD’S MOM.

Amber Gainey Meade – Starring as Joan
Amber Gainey Meade spun her Northwestern University theatre degree into brass, booking national tours and Equity theatre gigs all over Chicagoland before heading out West. In LA, she has been spotted (pun intended) with dots on her face and sensors on her mocap suit, creating characters and voices for Bob Zemeckis/Image Movers Digital in “Disney’s A Christmas Carol” and “Mars Needs Moms.” Consistent with her habit of getting paid to talk… Amber spends her downtime traveling as a spokes model on the national automotive circuit, blabbing about horsepower and torque. But she’s happiest at home in LA with her rock star/entertainment lawyer husband, Tim Meade. More witty quips at www.ambergaineymeade.com..
