Andoni Elias Nava is a second year Film and TV student at the Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. He has spent lots of time writing and directing short films, and has always been interested in the theater, though this will be his first time directing a stage play. He has worked on the crew of High School plays, though he knows that might fall short of impressing some people, and has watched and read various plays, though he knows that may impress even less of you. Still, he is excited to be working with new people, on a new play, in a new medium for him, for this new festival. He hopes that this will be a fun experience, and that people still like him when he's through with it. (He would like it even better if they liked him more after, but he wouldn't want to feel that he was asking too much from you.) |

Carol Neiman has been writing ever since she learned to hold a pencil, and always finds that an impossible deadline brings a certain focus to the task. Theatre is a more recently discovered passion, and Carol has played various lead and principal roles off-off Broadway and in indie films -- either dying or dead so often that it could creep her out a little if she didn't have so much fun doing it. A lifelong vagabond, she settled down in New York City about 10 years ago, a fact that still surprises her when wakes up in the morning and finds herself still here. |
