Director Biography - Sean Parker, Austin Hillebrecht

Native Oregonians Sean and Austin met in middle school and quickly bonded over inventing all the ways one could maim a stick figure doodled on a piece of school work. The count came out to about 10 before running out of room in the margins.

The two started spending the lion’s share of their free time making films together after school — and in the 25 years since, Sean and Austin have continued to hone their craft together, creating uplifting but often offbeat comedy films in the forms of features and short form sketches under Hapstance Films on YouTube.

Now, the pair has set their sights on a new horizon: developing the innovative puppet-filled mystery series Fogtown.
