That's 140 in dog years. Andy has produced and/or directed well over 100 hours of television series and specials for networks and - [Ruby Red Handed](https://committeefilms.com/ruby-red-handed/) - [Gone Girls](https://committeefilms.com/gone-girls/) - [Hostage Rescue](https://committeefilms.com/hostage-rescue/) - [Me Hereafter](https://committeefilms.com/me-hereafter/) - [First Home Fix](https://committeefilms.com/first-home-fix/) - [20/20: Divine Intervention](https://committeefilms.com/20-20-divine-intervention/) - [High Spy](https://committeefilms.com/high-spy/) - [Mallory Chaudhry](https://committeefilms.com/mallory-chaudhry/) - Mallory Chaudhry is the Director of Development at Committee Films. That means she is always digging into stories both wonderful and incredible – sort of like Dirty Dancing, which is her favorite movie. Her “super power” is her ability to connect with others and is tempered by a professionalism that can only be described as - [Meghan Peterson](https://committeefilms.com/meghan-peterson/) - As a librarian at Committee Films, Meghan is truly an invaluable part of the {c_f} team. Her ability to read and organize massive amounts of information is truly incredible and aided by her Masters in Library and Information Science from St. Catherine University. She is currently the only person who lists her favorite sport as - [Tina Zimmer](https://committeefilms.com/tina-zimmer/) - Tina Zimmer is the Office Assistant here at Committee Films. As such, the fact that she has a degree in Business Administration from Cardinal Stritch University is what we like to refer to as a convenient bit of narrative foreshadowing. She handles everything here at Committee down to the smallest details. Speaking of small details, - [Antonio Richardson](https://committeefilms.com/antonio-richardson/) - An anagram for Antonio Richardson is Radiant Noon Choirs – which is exactly what swore we heard singing when he applied at Committee Films for an Associate Producer position. And everyone knows when a noon choir sings – you listen! We’re glad we did because Antonio is the real deal. A man of many interests - [Little Red Wagon](https://committeefilms.com/little-red-wagon/) - [Leadman Tri](https://committeefilms.com/leadman-tri/) - [USO Tour](https://committeefilms.com/uso-tour/) - [Spud Cannon](https://committeefilms.com/spud-cannon/) - [Will Yates](https://committeefilms.com/will-yates/) - The first thing you need to know about Will is that he is the only person at Committee Films with a genuine British accent. This is because he’s from Boston. Confused? This threw us all for loop too until we looked at a map. Turns out there is a Boston, England. This is apparently the - [Lukas Medin](https://committeefilms.com/lukas-medin/) - If you took an x-ray of Lukas Medin’s torso you’d see all sorts of sprockets and gears, a sound drum, and a film gate because Lukas lives and breathes film. That’s a great thing for a post-production assistant, which, it turns out, he is at Committee. He was also a fencer in college, which isn’t - [Ian Forsythe](https://committeefilms.com/ian-forsythe/) - As a full-time production assistant at Committee Films, Ian frequently has to get weird. On any given day you can find him… anywhere. From keeping production materials organized and ready to working on any number of sets to loading and unloading the many and strange necessities of TV production from a box truck – he - [William Sheedy](https://committeefilms.com/william-sheedy/) - bio coming soon - [Ben Krueger](https://committeefilms.com/ben-krueger/) - Say you’re walking down the street and see a captain’s hat floating by in your periphery. There’s probably a 95% chance that Ben Krueger is under it wearing his trademark navy and gold captain’s hat. Hint: if the guy doesn’t have a medium to medium large beard – it’s not him. Ben would be the - [Bennett Bonney](https://committeefilms.com/bennett-bonney/) - Did you know Bonney is Anglo-Scottish with French origins and means “good”? We do, because Bennett Bonney is the best. How’s that for alliteration*? As a post-production* assistant at Committee Films, Bennett manages many* of the projects we film. He keeps the footage nice and organized and moves data around like a dancer, which it - [Chadwick Nelson](https://committeefilms.com/chadwick-nelson/) - Chadwick might be the only person who has ever worked at Committee that is officially ambidextrous. We imagine that comes in handy (pun) in his role as editor. Maybe that’s why he’s so darn good at it…? It could also be why he was offered a basketball scholarship at a small Christian College in his - [Cindy Barber](https://committeefilms.com/cindy-barber/) - Try this. Go home and ask whichever digital assistant you prefer to define “backbone of Committee Films”. The answer will be Cindy Barber (if not please update your settings). Cindy is our Director of Administration and that means she has her hands in literally everything we do from bookkeeping (fun fact: the only word in - [Jen Blanck](https://committeefilms.com/jen-blanck/) - Thing one to know about Jen Blanck is that she hates water chestnuts. Don’t make the mistake of offering her a jar – you WILL regret it! Perhaps more germane to a bio, Jen is the Head Research Librarian at Committee Films. That’s right. We have a librarian. Back off! While this doesn’t seem like - [Paul Hunter](https://committeefilms.com/paul-hunter/) - Paul Hunter is a force in post-production here at Committee Films as Online Editor aka the most underappreciated role in post-production. It’s safe to say that if we’ve shot it, he’s fixed it up and made it ready to air. Basically, he does all the computery stuff that makes everything fit nicely together. We’re telling - [Ryan Soule](https://committeefilms.com/ryan-soule/) - At Committee Ryan is the master of Photoshop and graphic design. Outside of Committee he’s a master of all sorts of things from building elaborate cornhole boards to winter jib parks to support his extreme sports habit (yes, that’s rea). Don’t worry. We had no idea what a jib park was either. Turns out it’s - [Curt Ash](https://committeefilms.com/curt-ash/) - Normally we take the time to write up a bio for someone, but we think Curt’s answer to the question “What’s your background?” is pretty good by itself: I was born in Fargo, ND and I'm half Canadian. When people make fun of Canada in front of me, there are repercussions. I went to film - [I Was There](https://committeefilms.com/i-was-there-history-channel/) - [The Laundry Guy](https://committeefilms.com/the-laundry-guy/) - [Top of the World](https://committeefilms.com/top-of-the-world/) - Travel Channel™ 2hr special starring the incomparable Mikey Kay. - [20/20: Gone at Dawn](https://committeefilms.com/20-20-gone-at-dawn/) - [The Killer Next Door](https://committeefilms.com/the-killer-next-door/) - [Devin Meierding](https://committeefilms.com/david-meierding/) - Before working at Committee Films, Devin Meierding was in college. Literally, that's where we hired him from. There is a rumor that he literally drove from graduation at the Art Institutes International Minnesota to {c_f} and literally sat down at a computer to start work. At the time, he was the youngest person ever to - [Zak Hanson](https://committeefilms.com/zak-hanson/) - Bio coming soon. - [Bill Hurley](https://committeefilms.com/bill-hurley/) - Bill Hurley. If that sounds like a shepherd’s name to you then, you’re right, and I’m not sure how you knew that. Yes, Bill was raised on a sheep farm, which is at odds with his set nickname “Ham Tray” (because ham=pigs, an alternative livestock) given to him for his flawless circulation of a tray - [Maria Awes](https://committeefilms.com/maria-awes/) - Maria Awes is Sr. Vice President, Executive Producer and Head of Development for Committee Films. She also holds the title for most titles. Prior to coming on board, she spent 10.2 years (she's very detailed) in broadcast journalism where she won multiple Emmys and the Edward R. Murrow award for her investigative projects.
