WRITER - Neal Hallford: An avid fan of classic Universal and Hammer horror movies, Neal credits The Plenty Scary Movie -- a Tulsa late-night horror show -- for his life-long love of the genre. Inspired by CINEMAGIC magazine, he first took up filmmaking as a teenager, but only began to seriously pursue making his own movies when the costs of production dropped enough that he could afford to make his cinematic dreams a reality.

A graduate of the University of Oklahoma, Neal holds a degree in radio, television, and film production. Prior to jumping into the arena of independent film production in 2009, he established a reputation as an award-winning writer and computer game designer, best known for the computer role-playing games "Betrayal at Krondor," "Dungeon Siege," "Champions of Norrath" and others. He continues to work regularly as a game designer, film producer, media consultant, and fiction author. "The Case of Evil" is his first horror film in what he hopes will be the start of a series of "vintage" horror shorts.

WRITER - Jana Hallford: Jana earned her entertainment credentials early, covering rockstars of the art world like Andy Warhol, Christo, and Robert Rauschenberg for her college newspaper and the La Jolla Light. She also wrote features about the still-developing San Diego ComicCon before it became the cultural phenomena that it is today. Parlaying her art writing into public relations work, she went on to do direct marketing and trade show exhibits for a book publisher. In 1994, she provided background material to the SciFi Channel for their marathons of the original Beauty and the Beast TV series. In addition to her producer's responsibilities for Swords & Circuity Studios, she is an award-winning artist and photographer, and has had her work shown in national and international juried shows.
