About Us

Cool people being cool together We’re not a company, because that means paperwork and red tape and business taxes. No, we’re just friends who like to hang out and be creative around each other.

Between us, we can write, edit, storyboard, direct, shoot, design, organize, compose, produce, play and make almost anything. We’re the kind of people who like to wear many hats; Valerie alone has at least twenty of them stashed in her closet. Separately, we are each pretty awesome, but with our powers combined, our achievements become exponentially greater.

Valerie Valdes Valerie was mostly raised in Miami, eventually attending the University of Miami. She majored in English and minored in motion pictures and creative writing, two of the finest things in life. Valerie has worked as a desktop publisher, web designer, writer and copy editor. She has also been a Municipal Liaison for National Novel Writing Month for four years.

Liz Smith Liz hails from Atlanta, which she bade a tearful goodbye in order to attend the University of Miami. She double-majored in English and motion pictures because they go together like cream cheese and red pepper jelly. When not working on a novel, Liz can be found editing movies or watching Aliens to help her fall asleep. She most recently edited the making of documentary for The Bunker, a film by Joe Monks.

Eric Valdes Eric was born and bred in Miami, gracing the University of Miami with his august presence. He double-majored in psychology and motion pictures; how does that make you feel? Eric is a musician, filmmaker, and all-around Renaissance man. His short film 300 Pounds has won approximately that weight in awards. He currently plays lead guitar for the Coffee House Gypsies and performs live improv comedy with Impromedy.
