Miles O'Neil
Director
After executive-producing two independent feature films, Miles felt it was time to direct his own. Knowing he needed to story-tell in an economical yet compelling fashion, he chose “unknown talent” to carry out his cinematic vision.
Miles grew up in Port Washington, Wisconsin before moving to Milwaukee at the age of 11. In addition to working on motion pictures, he owns and operates
The Wicked Hop, a successful restaurant and bar located in Milwaukee’s Historic Third Ward neighborhood.

Dominic Reeder
"Jaden"
Not only is this Dominique’s first starring role in a feature film, it’s also his first time acting in one. This lack of big screen experience, however, belies his passion for cinema that dates back to when he saw “The Matrix” at age four.
Dominique is a Milwaukee native who first met Miles while working as a host at The Wicked Hop. After sharing his own life story with Miles (in addition to sharing his appreciation for filmmaking with him), Dominique became the obvious choice to play “Jaden”.
Fernando & Bonita Walker
Music Composition & Performance
Multi-instrumentalist Fernando and percussionist Bonita have musical backgrounds rooted in the church. That being said, the husband and wife duo enjoy playing all types of music and welcomed the opportunity to team up on a feature film project.
Born and raised in Chicago, Fernando moved to Milwaukee in the mid-80s. He and Bonita exchanged vows in 1993 and they currently reside in Wauwatosa, Wisconsin. Fernando formerly worked in the Historic Third Ward, where he and Miles began their artistic collaboration.
