Director / Writer / Editor: Wes Smith
Bio: I spent the early years of my life chasing the dream of becoming a comic book artist, I grew up around comics and drawing for a living seemed more obtainable than being a filmmaker. Eventually hanging up my pencil for a camera when I explored photography at the end of high school, something I would put down during challenging years of my 20’s falling in and out of trouble and eventually becoming a father giving me an anchor to start taking art more seriously. Over a decade later after working in different aspects of video production, reconnecting with my best friend / co-writer and feeling confident In an idea for an ambitious project I pushed all my chips in giving birth to Mr TV Man.

Concept Artist: Michelle Dahl
Bio:Michelle is a self-trained classical oil painter whose practice centers on narrative and
craftsmanship. For this film, she created concept art and supported the art department. The
project allowed her to utilize other creative outlets she’s passionate about but doesn’t always
explore through painting—costume design and construction, sculpture, carpentry, and
environment design. Her visual approach wove the film’s moody noir aesthetic together with
her baroque-inspired eye for detail, helping create a world that feels both atmospheric and
richly textured.
