ARCHIL
Archil Gugberidze | Screenwriter & Actor
Hello, I’m Archil an Actor/Screenwriter. I have published a Screenwriting book couple of months ago which focuses on 5 of my scripts and their philosophical and psychological analyzes.
Alternative – Dillon’s last shot on how he could have behaved to be reunited with his fiancée. Can it all be back to where it was?
Information – A terrorist attack explained by Media and Students. Which source tells the truth?
Perspective – Two opposing views on life from a multimillionaire and a beggar. What do they have in common?
Power – A debate between a mistress and wife. Who ruined the marriage?
Regrets – After losing what you loved the most, what is left to appreciate?
Currently, we are in the pre-production for one of the short films: Alternative. We are looking for funding, as well as aspiring Actors, Male and Female. Please do not hesitate to contact me if interested.
While many projects unfortunately disappeared as a result of COVID, Jennifer has acted in and designed the soundscapes for Sinking Ship Creations interactive-phone-adventures featured in The NY Times and NoProscenium, performed in livestreams including Fable Workshop’s Infection and Co-Reality Collective’s global/virtual Island Festival, acted in and edited films like Hazel’s Adventure (fantasy) and Happy Hour (narrative), and more! She is so grateful for the remote work she has secured thus far. Additionally she would love to collaborate with others on (COVID-safe) dance or movement work in the near future.

BAZ
Mia Andor Baz | Singer
Mia Andor Baz (they/them) is a member of the Barbershop Harmony Society (BHS), singing competitive barbershop-style a cappella music. They moved in with their quartet, Hot Second, in August. While barbershop conventions have been canceled this year, Hot Second is participating in a reality show and charity fundraiser called Barbershop Royale, raising funds for the Ali Forney Center (link to donate below). Hot Second will be livestreaming a concert from home (“The Hot Spot”) later this year — like them on Facebook for updates!
Baz is also a member of the BHS Hell’s Kitchen chapter choruses, Gotham (SATB) and Sirens of Gotham (SSAA). Both choruses are producing content to release this winter.
In October, Baz served as a panelist for the first installment of the BHS’s Inclusion Webinar Series, “Gender identity, LGBTQ+, and Barbershop” to speak about their experiences of inclusion and exclusion as a transgender nonbinary person in as-yet gendered singing organizations. You can watch the recorded webinar at the link below.

Thanks to the GP grant, I was able to produce my short film “Sweetie Pie”! I’m so thankful that the grant allowed me to bring on a great team and realize the world I’d envisioned. We’ve now locked picture and are in the process of submitting to film festivals across the country.

GP ARTIST: ERIN ROBINSON
Textile and Graphic Designer
I design large scale tapestries collaged with a variety of textiles that I get from around the world. Typically the tapestries include mythical and powerful creatures combined with floral elements. The canvases are dyed with natural dyes (turmeric, beet, sandalwood) and the appliqués are hand-drawn and hand stitched onto the canvas. All artworks are for sale!
SAKI
Dancer, Actor & Yoga Instructor
I’m a dancer/actor, born and raised in Japan. I started dancing when I was 4 years old and haven’t really stopped dancing since. I came to NYC to pursue my dream. It was a big adventure for me to move to another country without speaking their language. Somehow I’m still here and I’m grateful for all my family, friends and teachers made me who I am today. And I just became a certified yoga instructor! It’s definitely helping me in this difficult time physically and mentally.

FORREST HEDDEN
Cookbook Author
This spring I published my first book. Full Circle, Memories and Magic from a Family Table.
It is a culinary memoir of the 1960’s 70’s and 80’s as seen through the eyes of a Gen X boy and his family.
It is about food and family and how we all can tell the story of of lives through food. How each of us has a personal food heritage.
At it’s core the book asks a question. if you ever wonder why you can’t get away from the fact that eating chocolate cake makes you think of your grandmother? Or why certain pizza toppings make you think about laughter-filled nights spent with best friends in high school? Or the way your mom’s spaghetti recipe tastes when YOU make it, and you suddenly feel like you’re ten years old again?
That is the power of food. It is fuel for the body… and medicine for the soul.
Full Circle is a story about how that happened in one family. But it is really the story that food creates in the muscle memory of everyone’s lives-even yours!
