Born in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada, Julie Ruffell spent nearly every weekend of her early childhood at the drop zone, telling skydivers how to land, dodging cow pies and stealing sugar cubes. During the long days, Julie's favourite pastime was running across, around and under the rows upon rows of long tables, creating new worlds to play and have adventures in.
When not living her adventures, Julie drew them, and once she learned to read and write, there was no world or adventure she couldn't experience.
Writing was always a love of Julie's, but since the age of fourteen, it has been her passion. Completing her first novella by the age of fifteen, Julie also began to write and illustrate picture books for her young cousins.
Most of her time in high school was spent in the theatre, both onstage and off. She began to direct, while continuing to develop her writing. Though Julie still loves the theatre, her preferred storytelling platform is film and television.
In 2006 Julie joined her first film crew on the independent feature "Awakenings," where she served as the script editor, helped with set design, worked as a production assistant and also provided the voice of the sentient weapon. In addition, when the film went through a complete re-write, Julie took over as the writer.
Completely addicted to the film making process and using it to tell stories and reach people, Julie filmed her own piece that year, "Express IT!" and founded her own production company in 2007. Under her company she wrote, directed and produced two more shorts before tackling "Seconds," which deals with the taboo subject of self injury.

Born into a musical family, Ian was performing from an early age - by the age of 4, he was being billed as "Vancouver's Little Harry Lauder" for singing a medley of the great Scottish entertainer's songs. Dancing, bagpipes, piano, Eb alto horn and music theory soon joined the list of studies.
He took up acting in high school and attended UBC as an opera major before moving to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, where he continued to perform in choirs, musicals and operettas. He also branched out and began writing plays, two of which - I'll Go Where Hugo and Going Down Under were produced in Toronto - and screenplays.
At age 40, he also began to compose music, and has since written two chamber operas (Benjamin Brown and Cassandra), a string symphony, and several chamber, choral, and vocal works. He has also written several short musicals for elementary schools.
