The Filmmakers
David Carey — Director and Editor / "The Sheriff"
David has been a creative communicator all of his life. He's a passionate guy. For over 30 years David has worked at the art of persuasion and storytelling. He started as an actor and eventually found his way to the other side of the lens as producer/director. Through an extensive network of creative collaborators David creates dynamic, compelling media that moves and he makes it all happen with limited schedules and tight budgets.
This is what he loves to do. It's in his blood.
He's tried other things (he was an interior designer in the 80s) but it always became a venue for "a new story" and a new way to connect with the hearts and minds of an audience. He's got one simple goal: create effective media that moves hearts and minds, builds awareness, prosperity and fosters strong relationships.
Dennis Curley — Music and Additional Lyrics / "Jefferson"
Dennis grew up in Syracuse, New York, and received his B.A. from Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois. He moved to the Twin Cities in 1992.
Between 1992 and 2012, Dennis appeared on stage with Hey City (Forever Plaid), Ordway Center (Hot 'n' Cole; My Way), Theater Latté Da (A Christmas Carole Petersen; Steerage Song), History Theatre (Orphan Train) and the Guthrie Theater (Warm Beer Cold Women and the staged reading of Little House on the Prairie). He co-founded Table Salt Productions in 2009 with Jim Robinson and Rachael Brogan Flanery.
In May of 2013 he performed his one-man show Country Roads: Dennis Curley Sings the Music of John Denver for Table Salt Productions (the CD is available here); in October of 2013 he was seen in Theater Latté Da's remount of Steerage Song at the Lab Theatre in Minneapolis (which then also toured under a Minnesota State Arts Board Grant in the fall of 2014).
His compositions include Love After Hours, Vampires! Horror!, U Betcha: The Making of a Minnesota Boy Band, Whistling Past the Graveyard, Pride and Plot of Pointlessness, and Church Basement Ladies 2: A Second Helping. His arrangements for Schoolhouse Rock Live! and Schoolhouse Rock Live Too! are published by MTI; the Love After Hours Original Cast CD is available here, as well as at the iTunes Store.
