Chris Lawing
DIRECTOR & DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
I’ve been a filmmaker for over 20 years. Even before I picked up a camera, I had a pen. And that has been the foundation for my filmmaking career and the basis to making good films. I can talk about a few statues that collect dust in my office or name drop some films festivals but I believe my films speak for themselves. Check them out.

Derek Weikle
ART DIRECTOR & PRODUCTION GURU
I've put up with Chris and Angie for seven years. Where's the statue or plaque for that? Angie calls me Mercury's renaissance man, working as Mercury's graphic designer, from digital to print and motion, to Chris' camera assistant to the guy who builds random things. Is that renaissance or what?
