Director Biography - Ján Byrnes & Stefan Trout, Stefan Trout

JJU BYRNES (also known as Ján Byrnes)
Ján was born in a town you can't pronounce (Celje) and is from a country, you've never been to (Slovenia). After countless jobs, desperation, and humiliation (all his fault), he firmly believes in the saying that humor is derived from the misfortunes of others. That’s probably one of the only upsides to working in retail. You're either a part of the joke, or you laugh at someone's expense.

He secretly knew what he wanted to do with his life very early on but took his time getting there. He issued his own newspaper at the age of 9, made silly movies with his neighbors when he was 12, directed his first feature film at the age of 15 with European Commission backing, and finally, Ján had set up a satirical news website when he was 20. In December 2017, Ján founded his own film production company in London called SJ Releasing Limited, or Scratching Jokes Productions, which focuses exclusively on producing comedy-related content. Even though Ján has big ambitions to produce different genres his favorite remain: comedy and horror.

STEFAN TROUT
Stefan was born in San Francisco to a Brazilian father and American mother and has loved dogs since day one. His family moved to Lyon, France when he was very young and he spent the majority of his schooling in an international school there.
Stefan began acting at the tender age of six and hasn’t stopped. Rejecting a position at DePaul University in Chicago, Stefan decided to stay in Europe and went on to receive a B.A. in Acting from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow.

He then moved to London and began his career as an actor. He has since performed in some lauded venues, such as Shakespeare’s Globe, and has worked extensively in the field of Voice Over. He has worked on such projects as Hive commercials and EA’s Star Wars Battlefront VR Extension. He has
since steered his hand towards writing and the more he writes the more he seeks to reveal the absurdity in American daily life.
