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.

Mathieu Berthon (born 1984) is a French genre filmmaker working as a director, writer and editor. Rooted in DIY filmmaking, his work embraces raw energy, extreme imagery and cult cinema influences, drawing from action, horror and grindhouse traditions.
Driven by what he describes as “punch-in-the-face cinema,” Berthon creates uncompromising films that prioritize intensity, rhythm and visual impact over convention. His projects are often produced with minimal resources, guerrilla-style methods and a strong hands-on approach inherited from his background in film editing.
His films include the action-driven medium-length feature Le Réserviste (2012), as well as several short films and fake trailers that explore genre codes with irony and excess.
He has also collaborated internationally with the Montreal-based collective RKSS, directing a French installment of the cult project Ninja Eliminator. His work continues to circulate in genre and underground festivals, where his visceral style and love for cult cinema have earned him a distinctive voice within independent genre filmmaking.

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
