Steven Lekowicz

Tad • Executive Producer • Writer

Steve(n) hails from the deep Not Here (Colorado), and has been acting for a long time. He still remembers his mom being moved to tears when he sang “Where Is Love” in that Oliver audition in 1980. Though he won the part of Oliver that day, went on to film school at Boston University, and grew long hair (see Guy), he has since struggled to find his place in the pantheon of the entertainment world. Most of that time was wasted because he thought “Pantheon” was a chain of stores selling knickers and slacks. As a part of KATR Pictures, Steve is incredibly lucky to be working with such talented folks. He just wishes they’d agree to produce his script for an all-Polish production of “The Bell Jar.”

Tanya Ihnen

Bunny • Executive Producer

By day, Tanya is an office worker extraordinaire, by night she is a Webseries Producer who knows exactly how much food to order for a shoot. Because of both of these jobs, she’s well-versed in e-mail writing and supply ordering. Born and raised in Washington state, she still loves apples and tractors.

Robb Padgett

The Producer · Director · Executive Producer · Composer · Editor

Due to a tragic biography-writing accident when he was a young child, Robb has been left with a paralyzing aversion to writing bios. The mere mention of relaying even the tiniest tidbit from, say, his young childhood, renders him unable to type even the simplest words like “apple” and “webseries.” When not directing webseries, Robb enjoys eating apples like he did when he was a young child.

Jeremy Sonney

Balthazane

Jeremy is a Leo who likes Piña Coladas and getting caught in the rain… Wait, wrong bio. Jeremy is yet another transplant from the great state of Washington, where he attended college with our fearless leaders Robb and Tanya. Since moving to L.A. six years ago, he has worked as an actor, a casting associate, a junior agent, an acting and vocal coach; and a few years back he allowed himself to be lured into the sordid world of corporate web design because apparently he felt he hadn’t suffered enough for his art. In his spare time he likes biting sarcasm, bad television, and fine-tuning his evil plans for total world domination.

Stephen Simon

Howie / Vampire Party Guest

Originally from Illinois, Stephen was raised in Northern California dairy country where he was imprinted with a desire for the agrarian lifestyle. He now lives on an urban homestead in the heart of L.A. with 4 chickens, 2 cats, and a dog—and hopefully soon a pig. In addition to his life as an urban farmer, he has been a rock climbing instructor, an underwater boat cleaner, and a driver for Charles Nelson Reilly. You can learn more than you ever wanted to know about him at www.tenwest.net/stephensimon.

Corrie Meyers

Corriolanus / Vampire Party Guest

Corrie grew up on the East Coast and, as much as she loves L.A., she still misses the glorious fall days that the other side of the country has to offer. She is crazy about animals and loves the way her two cats always make her smile. She is also a lover of old movies, “green” living, KPCC, ’40s music, traveling (she is currently taking Italian lessons), ice skating, the smell of Christmas, and thinks the world would be a better place if everyone played badminton.

Jon Monastero

Jeff Charlton

Zombie

A classically-trained actor, Jeff turned his Shakespearean-honed interpretive skills (along with a hint of Molière) to expressing his inner zombie. For inspiration, Jeff committed to many hours of cubicle-dwelling so that he could hit just the right note. Motivated by his uncanny portrayal of the undead, Jeff is now in pre-production for a feature-length documentary on the lives of film critics.

Kathy Harmening

Vampinda

Bio coming soon. As soon as our references come through.

Joe Nicchi

Max Blastro • Rex Tutsie • Jim (Zombie Coroner)

Joe Nicchi doesn’t like to brag, but his eBay rating is much higher than yours. His Facebook status updates rarely include typos, and he owns a hoverboard. It doesn’t work, but it’s his.

Lauren Aboulafia

Mable Sexarius • Janice Goodnurse

Lauren has a passion for food and could dominate any pancake eating contest in the lower 48. Most people think she is Greek but she really is a Sephardic Jew from Texas. Lauren loves to sing and not just in the shower.

Melissa Eslava

Kitti Kiki (The Sand Witch)

Bio coming soon. That is, if the ocean doesn’t swallow it up.

Leon Cohen

Homeless Man (Thanksgiving short)

Bio coming soon. As soon as Leon finishes all his green vegetables.

Erin Anderson

Vampire Mom (Thanksgiving short)

Bio coming soon. I mean, within reason.

Tim Thompson

Vampire Dad (Thanksgiving short)

Bio coming soon. Unless he has to drive to the Valley.

Makena Thompson

Vampire Child (Thanksgiving short)

Makena was born in Los Angeles just a few short years ago. She has never held a job, is unable to read, and shows no interest in political discourse. Instead, she prefers to spend her time drawing, eating candy, watching cartoons, and wearing a tutu everywhere she goes.

Laura Neufeld

Lauralia / Vampire Party Guest

Bio coming soon. As soon as she finds more gum.

Andrea Toaso

Andphelice / Vampire Party Guest

Andrea is the mother of two of the most tender children ever born.  She does not, however, believe in eating her young, even though they are so sweet.  She is a not so mild-mannered professional by day and an avid sleeper at night.

Sven Davison

Svein / Vampire Party Guest

Sven is the human version of a Swiss Army knife, a.k.a. that thing in your pocket with 99 tools you will never have a use for: Pull here for executive, press here for flatulence machine, tug here for documentary sound guy, unscrew here for writer, heft here for pseudonyms such as Malcolm Rasputin McDermott, just Malcolm McDermott, Otto, or Stinky D. Sven is in the midst of publishing a cyberpunk thriller titled “State of Mind.” Look for it in the spring of 2011.

Jimmy Bopp

Count Von Boppula / Vampire Party Guest

Jimmy grew up in a bowling alley in Levittown, Long Island. At the age of 5 he was traumatized by vampires when his father decided to watch Nosferatu one night. That movie is creepy enough, but having to watch it at that age was terrifying. He has since confronted his vampire fears so much that he was happy to find his inner vampire for VZW.

Stephen Moore

Siddel

Stephen bi-annually enshrouds himself with spirit gum, prosthetics, make-up, dusting powder, and hairspray—October and April. Don’t ask… You’ll just think it weird! So, what better way to contribute to VZW than to do it to other people instead??!?! And in April, May, and June, no less! Halloween is every day, or every month, or… Well, you get the point!

Joell Posey

Joellette / Vampire Party Guest

Bio coming soon. But what is “soon” to a vampire?

Lauren Bopp

Laurenthia / Vampire Party Guest

Lauren is self-taught at most of her web skills, but has actual credentials for being a warm body to hold the boom when needed. She fled the cold of the East Coast for sunny L.A., but retains her computer geek pallor. Her hobbies include drawing and writing, but mostly letting her BFA atrophy.

AJ Jacobs

Ajax / Vampire Party Guest

Bio coming soon. As soon as he finds his writing cape.

Derek Theler

Derekktor / Vampire Party Guest

Bio coming soon. But not right now. Soon.

Jonathan Prucher

EMT

Bio coming soon. But only if it has medical coverage.

Zoe Van Brunt

Director of Photography

Though she is often represented as such in history books, Zoe Van Brunt is not, in fact, a cyborg. Nor is she a chimera or a homunculus, as others have speculated. Zoe Van Brunt is a flesh-and-blood alien from the andromeda galaxy.

She came to earth in the year 1983 where she found New York City to be an adequate feeding ground. Once she had drained Manhattan island of all its sustenance, she studied film at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts in order to provide cover for her migration to Los Angeles, where she lays in wait, shooting films and webseries in the meantime.

David Thomas

Gaffer

Bio coming soon. As soon as he’s done cooking all those delicious hamburgers.

Yvonne Chu

Camera Operator

Bio coming soon. As soon as Zoe writes one.

Jeff Daly

Boom Operator

Jeff must have been a bad kid because he grew up in Kalamazoo, MI. I’ve heard from other people that their parents threatened to send them to Kalamazoo if they were bad. Further evidence of his hooligan status was his enlistment into the Marine Corps after high school. The military had a positive effect on Jeff, and he returned home and went to college. The positive effects wore off when Jeff turned down law school and moved to Chicago to study improvisation, acting, and writing at The Second City Conservatory. All of this life experience lead Jeff to Los Angeles to pursue acting. They call him “Boom Operator” which must be code for “Bad Ass,” cuz like it says up top, he was raised in Kalamazoo, MI.

Seth Daly

Grip

Steve Doyle

Grip

He wrangles leaves like nobody’s business. And there’s a lot of leaf-wrangling businesses out there.

Derrick Abrenica

Graphics Designer

Derrick is a mammal and is made up of many tiny cells. He is a homo sapien, which means his great-great-great-great-grandfather was an ape. In order to survive, he requires nutritious food and love and…. Wait, what? Bio is short for Biography? Oh dear. This is embarrassing. Okay, well, in that case, Derrick hails from Tennessee, where he narrowly escaped a southern accent. After living in Washington, D.C. for years, he now resides in Los Angeles with another homo sapien named Steve who is also on this page somewhere. Derrick is a graphic designer by trade and enjoys music, movies, comic books, nutritious food and love.

So, what better way to contribute to VZW than to do it to other people instead??!?! And in April, May, and June, no less! Halloween is every day, or every month, or… Well, you get the point!
