Noah Berc (he/him) is a gay Indigenous filmmaker, writer, and performer from Ontario, and a proud member of the Deninu Kųę́ First Nation under Treaty 8. He tells stories that live in the overlap between horror and humour, shame and spectacle, queerness and craving—to be loved, to be seen, even when you're leaking, twitching, or totally falling apart. Noah got his start in front of the camera as an ACTRA actor, working in film, TV, and commercials. That experience taught him how to be watched—how to control the narrative with just a glance or breath—which eventually led him to directing. His work now is where that actor’s intuition meets a writer’s sharp tongue and a filmmaker’s obsession with the awkward, the eerie, and the emotionally exposed. Pimple Patch marks Noah’s directorial debut, and it’s very much a first film in the best way: personal, scrappy, and too honest to be cool. He draws from queer theory, Indigenous storytelling, and the guts of genre filmmaking to create stories that are as heartbroken as they are hilarious. Noah is headed to Queen’s University to pursue an MA in Screen Cultures and Curatorial Studies, where he’ll continue to explore the weird and tender intersections of queerness, horror, and identity on screen. He makes work for the freaks, the feelers, and anyone who’s ever had a panic attack in a public washroom.

i did a lot of short films, videoclip documentaries and a book, and a graphic novel and a lot of other stuff, but above all a small human being named Nina.

London based artist, Alice Bloomfield, embraces human emotion, sex and love through illustrated and animated works.
Her linear, figurative style is reminiscent of manga with cool hues and rich compositions. Describing her art as “opulent, perturbing and sleazy”, she finds inspiration in tacky 70’s interiors and anything dark and mysterious.

She has been signed as a Director to Black Dog Films since 2021 and worked on a number of projects ~ with clients including Gucci, Rihanna, Marc Jacobs and Netflix

Jan-David Bolt, 1991, studied German and English literature and film studies at the University of Zurich before switching to film studies at the Zurich University of the Arts.

He discovered his fascination for stories that break with narrative conventions through an intensive study of film history and at the same time sharpened his eye for the visual medium.

He is passionate about the portrayal of disgust, human malevolence, and narratives that manage to make us laugh against our will.

Since graduation, he has worked as a director, author, artist and freelancer in advertising.
