Katherine Griffin is an Emmy Award winning editor-writer-director from Bloomington, Indiana whose spirited adventure making her first indie feature The Innocents was profiled in the Los Angeles Times. The Innocents was subsequently listed as one of the the twenty best dramas in Phil Hall's 'The Encyclopedia of Underground Movies: Films from the Fringes of Cinema'. In a review for FILMTHREAT Magazine, Hall stated: "Griffin has a remarkable style, with intelligent dialogue that flavors a subtle direction."

Katherine has always had a passion for acting, writing and directing. She attended the American Conservatory Theater in San Francisco, and studied film in the Bay Area, then entered the Pacific Conservatory of Performing Arts in Santa Maria to continue her education in acting and directing. It was there that she began to write screenplays.

Since then, she has been a finalist in the Sundance Screenwriter's Lab, received the first ever Christy Fellowship from PCPA, co-wrote the award winning screenplay The Wall, worked as an editor for every major network on television, adapted the screenplay for Rocket Science's upcoming New Zealand film Beautiful Idiots, and is currently assembling her second feature film, Butterflies and Lightning, with producers Michel Shane (I Robot, Catch Me if You Can), Sarah Finn (Crash) and Jon Bachmann (The Innocents).

Jon Bachmann is an Emmy award winning editor-writer-producer for films and television. An early interest in film and creative writing lead to an award for fiction with the Villa Montalvo Young Writer's Competition.

Originally from Northern California, he moved to Los Angeles and co-founded Styopa Films where he has developed and produced a number of award-winning independent films including The Innocents, (listed as one of the fifty most memorable indie/underground dramas in Phil Halls' book: Films from the Fringes of Cinema), and Use As Directed.

Jon and Katherine Griffin's script for The Wall won the UCLA Professional Program in Screenwriting award and the Nate Wilson Joie de Vivre Award. He is currently writing and developing film and television projects.
