Zach Schuyler began directing over eight years ago while working on small SciFi movie projects with Chris Albro.  His love for storytelling pushed him to begin shooting.  As the years passed, Zach began building his own production equipment to fill the need for better and quicker shoots.  After acquiring a substantial lighting package and better camera, Zach decided to start work on a feature film.  Inspired by urban legends circulating the Internet, he began work on The Box, a mixture of urban lore and childhood fears.  The Box is a collaboration effort of Zach Schuyler and Chris Albro.

Zach and Chris created their production company, Schubro Productions, in order to become better filmmakers by working on any and all projects they could.  They recently collaborated with Forward Motion Studios to shoot the short film, The Lucky Break, directed by Troy H. King.  Zach acted as Director of Photography and Editor.

Josh Stopfel gives new meaning to the word workaholic.  Josh throws himself into his job whatever the case, whether he is acting as key grip, sound recordist, clapper, or script supervisor.  Josh excels at it all.

Jim Herman is a jack of all trades.  He can do pretty much anything.  He has been known to drop what he was doing to come and help on any shoot.  He always manages to find funny moments during a serious shooting day which tends to lighten the mood and stress level of the rest of the crew. Most of the the time, Jim acted as clapper and grip on set.
