Jordan McLaughlin is a writer and director based in the sewers of Silverlake, L.A.
​
A sixth-generation North Carolinian born in Stumptown, NC, he spent his youth wrangling friends and family to star in his "movies." In his work, he strives to capture the beauty, absurdity, and camp of modern life. Coming from an eccentric lineage of small-town artists, he's always been drawn to the bizarre and heartfelt slice-of-life moments in Americana.
​
After graduating from the North Carolina School of the Arts, his "California dream" has taken many strange turns: apprenticing under a renowned painter in Ventura, assistant-managing Quentin Tarantino's coffee shop, and serving as Lead Graphic Designer at The Laugh Factory, a comedy club on the Sunset Strip.
​
In addition to developing features, shorts, and animation, he works as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator. His clients include Meow Wolf, KCRW, Warner Bros. Animation, Sid the Cat, Tim Heidecker, and Channel 5 News with Andrew Callaghan.
Savannah Galore is a screenwriter and director based in the steely empire that is NYC.
A born and bred New Orleanian, her experience during Hurricane Katrina has compelled her to go on to tell stories about those who face destruction, erasure, and transcendence in the wake of it. She aims to showcase the humor and humanity in obliteration, prioritizing transformation over resolution. But inspired by Screwball comedies, genre films, and the debauchery of her home city, Savannah explores these themes through outlandish fantasy to heighten them. All things are glitter and subtlety is never the goal.
Her first feature, a no-budget venture, ‘Apocalypse A-Go-Go,’ ran the 2020-2021 festival circuit, winning the Audience Award for Best Narrative Feature at the Portland Film Festival before securing international distribution. Other works have screened at festivals such as Austin Film Festival and Atlanta Film Festival.
​
Outside of crafting material for the next Satanic Panic, Savannah works in television development -- writing series formats for production companies.
