Karis Campbell
Writer/Director
Karis has always possessed the spirit of a performer and impassioned storyteller.
From a very young age she had a keen ability to bring her passion to every form of communication; from 'presenting' the events of her school day at the dinner table, to reading aloud to the family dog, As she matured into a young adult artist, her commitment to telling evocative and thoughtful stories grew.
Karis' father surprised her with tickets to Angels in America on her 17th birthday.
She was mesmerized by the abundant talent of the cast and the brilliant words of Tony Kushner and was forever altered by that experience. A defining moment for her as an artist as it made her aware of the undeniable power of art to not only entertain, but to also ignite dialogue, educate, and inspire. This newfound knowledge began to take shape in how she identified her role and would ultimately inform the trajectory of her career.
Classically trained in London and New York, she has spent the past two decades working as an actor on stage, as well as in film and television. Best known for her recurring role on the acclaimed series, The West Wing, as well as other major guest-star and recurring roles on, The Fosters, Rizzoli & Isles, and The Resident.
After over two decades of breathing life into the visions of other artists, Karis has expanded into working as a story steward, herself as a writer, director, and producer.
Tomorrow was Karis' writing and directorial debut.
Paul Howard
Executive Producer
Ask Paul's parents and they will tell you that Paul was destined to be a performer!
As a child he grabbed his toy guitar and performed Beatles songs for them on a makeshift stage; as a teenager he gained local notoriety for his uncanny ability to emulate Michael Jackson down to the smallest nuances of his performance; and when he ultimately left his Sacramento home to attend the University of California, Irvine as a drama major, his fate was sealed.
After college, Paul moved north towards the bright lights of Hollywood, where his interests in the entertainment industry continued to grow and evolve, the one thing that hasn't changed however is Paul's devoted passion to the performing arts. He has built a life working in the industry, and has been seen in film, television, music videos, local theater and his modeling work has appeared online and in national publications. Many of his credits can be found at his official website, GetPaulHoward.com as well as at the film reference site IMDB.com.
As Paul continues to challenge himself with new and exciting opportunities, and more of a focus on writing, directing, and producing projects, he always strives to grow and evolve.
Matt moved to LA, right after graduating from Washington State University, with little more than a bag full of basics and an ample store of ambition. He slept on a friend's couch and thanks to some leads from the more established alums from his alma mater, Matt embraced any and every opportunity he could find to work in the entertainment industry (if you get him alone at a party I am sure her will willingly divulge some of his more 'exciting' early jobs in LA.)
Since graduating from the coveted Director's Guild training program, he has worked steadily as an assistant director on a variety of acclaimed television series and is thrilled to be venturing into producing.

Rudy Ruiz
Gaffer
Rudy has always been a fan of movies and performing for as long as he could remember. At a very young age he would spend weekends with his grandmother watching films like Terminator 2, The Godfather, The Poseidon Adventure, and John Carpenters Halloween among many others. This inspired his passion for cinema and filmmaking very early on. Besides being a cinema fan, Rudy began playing music in fourth grade beginning with the trumpet. After switching instruments a few times he eventually landed on the Tuba which he played in high school, college, and drum corps. His experience and love for performing in marching band sparked an interested in teaching the marching arts, specifically Visual, which he has continued ever since he graduated high school.
Filmmaking was always something Rudy wanted to try but it remained in the background of his music career until he aged out of drum corps in 2011. He decided to move on from music education and take a few introductory film production classes in 2012. Two Weeks into those classes he got his first PA job on a feature where he had the chance to work with various named actors. From there he continued to work hard moving up from PA to camera operator. Although Rudy went in wanting to be a Director, he has since become extremely passionate about cinematography. Most of his work on set has been in camera or lighting crew as a camera assistant, gaffer, grip, and Cinematographer. He's worked as a Cinematographer on a number of music videos, short films, and feature films. The idea of painting with light and conveying story and emotions through colors and shadows had become the focus of his craft.
Currently, Rudy teaches Visual performance at various high school marching bands in Southern California as well as Touring with Pacific Crest Drum & Bugle Corps every summer where he now serves as Visual Caption Head. As far as filmmaking goes, He has been shifting focus to his own projects where he has made it a point to shoot on actual Film and develop his directing skills.
