Teddy Cecil
As a boy growing up in New York, Teddy had big dreams of becoming a filmmaker. By the time he was fourteen he was splicing his own 16mm films together and knew that movies were his passion. Around the same age, the Semi-Royal Shakespeare Company, America's oldest teenage Shakespeare acting troupe, recruited him. After four years of Shakespeare and a performing arts curriculum in high school, Teddy attended NYU, where he graduated with honors and received dual concentrations in Cinema Studies and Producing.

While in school, Teddy continued to write and direct several of his own short films in addition to working as a freelance filmmaker. His studies included a semester in Amsterdam where he learned about international film production and a leave of absence to work directly for Ang Lee on his most recent film.

Teddy shot a making-of documentary throughout pre-production and production as well as much of the b-roll footage that was used in Lee's film "Taking Woodstock."

After graduating from college, Teddy moved out to Los Angeles where he now resides and works.


Brett Miller
Growing up on Long Island, New York, Brett Miller possessed a love for music and film, pursuing his passion for the drums at an early age. It wasn't until middle school—while shooting a skateboarding video with some friends on his father's VHS camcorder—that he discovered his affinity for directing.

After writing and directing several short films in High School, he attended Amherst College, where he received his B.A. in English, with a concentration in Film Theory. Brett found his stride as a writer while pursuing Film Studies for a semester abroad in Paris, writing several screenplays and developing a series of short stories for production.

While in college, he also pursued his inherent love for both manual and digital photography, building a substantial portfolio of work by his senior year. Once out of school, he worked as an assistant cameraman on several Independent Features in New York, finally deciding to make the move to L.A. at the start of 2010.

After graduating from college, Brett moved to Los Angeles where he now resides and works.
