The Filmmakers

Robert L. Goodman (Producer / Director / Editor) began his life on the stage long ago, just after the discovery of fire.  He holds a BA in Theatre and has worked in production for the Cleveland Play House and in New York.  Arriving in Los Angeles in 1985, Bob received his MFA in Film from the University of Southern California, with a concentration in directing.  He’s been working as an award-winning film and TV editor, a story analyst, and writer, as well as directing productions on stage.  This is Bob’s ninth short film and the only one he is willing for others to see.  (www.cinemagic.net)

Roberta Kenney (Producer) didn't finish her BFA in film production back in 1994 because she ran out of money shooting her senior film.  Undeterred, she spent the next ten years producing short films, industrials, public service announcements, and a documentary.  Rob is now working on her first feature film, Rachel in Love.  A link for roberta: click here

Emily Dawson (Production Designer) grew up in a small town in Michigan and studied fine arts at the University of Toledo Ohio.  She moved to Los Angeles in 2001 where she later discovered her passion career while interning on the set of a Warner Brothers television show.  She’s been working in the Art Department ever since.  Emily's love for what she does shows in her work and in her belief in housing characters in a seamless environment crafted for who they are.  Her creative contribution to every project is making sure each frame seen through the eyes of the camera, and ultimately the eyes of the audience, is a finely balanced work of art.
