SUSAN BELL | WRITER/DIRECTOR

Susan independently wrote, produced and directed the 35mm children's horror short THE PATCHWORK MONKEY, which played at 17 festivals, won several awards and was licensed by the Independent Film Channel for cable broadcast in 2003. Her filmography as a writer/director includes three additional short films, including her master's thesis THE RESURRECTIONIST. Susan also served as the UPM and associate producer on FIELDS OF MUDAN, a 2004 FSU thesis film about young Chinese girls in the sex trade and the winner of several major festival awards.

In 2005, Susan was named the women's honorable mention winner in the prestigious Directors Guild of America student competition. She also was chosen to participate in the Telluride Film Festival Student Symposium, and received a MPSE Golden Reel nomination for her sound editing on THE RESURRECTIONIST. Her writing skills have earned her recognition as a Chesterfield semi-finalist and Sundance finalist, and she is currently at work on a feature script for a supernatural thriller. She currently lives in Los Angles and is pursuing a writing and directing career while working as the assistant to the producers of ROBOT CHICKEN.

BEN KIM | PRODUCER/EDITOR

Ben Kim was born in Atlanta, grew up in Atlanta, and even went to school in Atlanta. He studied at Emory University, and his love of film started at a young age. But, if everyone has a seminal moment or film when they first realized that they must become a filmmaker, it was for him the film KARATE KID. Not that he ever wants to make a film like it (and not that it's a bad film or anything). Ben came to FSU to become a filmmaker, and, during the past two years, wrote and directed three films, and produced two thesis films, MOON DANCE and THE RESURRECTIONIST. Ben plans to write and direct something, hopefully legitimate, in the future.

RODRIGO ROCHA-CAMPOS | DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY

Hailing from Sao Paulo, Brazil, Rodrigo Rocha-Campos arrived in the U.S. ten years ago to pursue his dream of filmmaking. He studied at Valencia Community College, and then finished his Bachelor's degree in film at the University of Central Florida, where he photographed 18 student projects and directed UNRAVELING AMELIA, a 15-minute short.

Seeking to learn more about directing, Rodrigo enrolled in the MFA program at FSU Film School, where he wrote and directed three shorts, all focusing on characters facing dark and unknown circumstances. As his thesis project, he served as the Director of Photography on THE RESURRECTIONIST, a perfect choice given his experience and love of dark, disturbing films. It was an excellent learning opportunity, shooting night exteriors in the woods and creating a subtle yet realistic motivated moonlight. Currently living in Vancouver, Rodrigo continues his efforts in cinematography and may try his hand at writing.

LUIS GONZALEZ | COMPOSER

Film composer Luis Gonzalez holds a BM in Film Scoring/Performance from Berklee College of Music and a MA in Music Composition from Tufts University.

His credits include music and production for short films (Tony Flanagan's THE FREELANCER; Susan Bell's THE PATCHWORK MONKEY) and commercials, as well as CD recordings and performances as guitarist/violinist with the Venezuelan rock bands "Alter Ego" and "Sara es Rara", the salsa band "Ajidewe-Son" and the jazz group "Zumbao Trio." Such a diverse experience allows him to seamlessly blend different styles, from classical to jazz, from ethnic to rock. In 2001, he was honored as a finalist in the Turner Classic Movies Young Film Composers Competition. He also produced 2 songs included in the HBO film MISSING PEACE (Audience Award for Best Feature, Slamdance 2003).
