Moses - Creator/Director
Age: Unknown
Moses found his interest in filmmaking when he would help out his
father, an animal documentary film director, out in the field. At the
young age of 12, Moses would take his small camcorder and follow
squirrels around the park. That's where he met Penny, a nature geek
who always wanted to create a film about her favorite tree. They both
established MoePenny Productions and created their first film: Leaf Me
Be. From there, they both worked on a few films together until Moses
started working solo on a few web series projects. Aside from the
acting, Moses directs, writes, films, produces, and edits ALL of his
projects. Some films include; Hold the Phone, Stopless, Waiting for
Nothing, Devil's Girl, and Death Wish. Moses is also the recipient of
several awards, including being a five-time consecutive FilmRI web series
award winner for "Outstanding Director of a Drama." Moses never sleeps,
which probably has something to do with his craziness. Compared to
Hitler and Satan, and called the "King of Darkness” on several
occasions, it's not an exaggeration when people say that "mean” is
Moses' middle name...and he doesn't deny it. Although no one really
knows exactly what made Moses the way he is, when he once asked by a
reporter why he is so horrible he responded: "Why is the sky blue?”
However, looking past the grumpiness and tantrums, his excellence in
film makes him a local celebrity! Everyone who meets him despises him,
but all agree that he'll be as big as Spielberg. Errr...ugh.
Katie Arbrook - Assistant to Moses
Age: Shut up
Katie decided to become a writer after being viciously attacked by a
bunny in veterinary school. After huddling in a the corner of her
basement for two full weeks without saying a word, her therapist
encouraged her to write down her feelings. Her notebook became filled
with a lot of angst, self-loathing, regret, and melodrama, hence no
wonder that the stars aligned and a few years later: she met Moses.
But it's not all sad and knuckle-crunching angst in Katie's life, in
her off-time she runs the Donnie Walhlberg fan club, where each week
the members meet and show new objects related to Donnie. Katie hit the
jackpot (April 11, 2010 to be exact) when she found via the friend of
her Uncle who dated Donne's second cousin a piece of the rug Donnie
set on fire in the early '90s. Katie wrote a short story inspired by
this called "How a 'berg inflamed the fibers of my inner fruit." She
also enjoys watching Basketball, kitties, and running around in
various neighborhoods.
Penny James - Web Series Creator
Age: Oh darling, if age was measured in brilliance I'd be ions old.
Penny is the co-founder of Moses' production company Moe-Penny Productions. She met Moses
when they were both freshmen in high school. Moses was in the library looking for the book,
Spielberg Before Aliens, when he accidentally pushed a few books too far, knocking them into the
other aisle and hitting Penny. Luckily, she was not hurt and they laughed about it. Moses then
noticed she had a pile of film books, thus, their friendship began. They were almost
inseparable, always working on films and web series projects together. Some of their films
include: Horrible Lunch Lady Mame, Great Goodness Peter, Howdy Doodie Cup, Sing It Again,
Stand Off, and Forget Her Tomorrow. However, three years ago Penny and Moses had a horrible
fight (the fight is still a big mystery), which resulted in Penny leaving to go to Hollywood to
pursue her career. In her first year, she wrote a pilot called Mystery Minds, which was picked up
by the network CBA. It is now the #3 drama on television.
Rachael Simpson - Assistant to Moses
Age: Sweet 25
Rachael didn't know where her life was going! After graduating from college with a major in
Philosophy, she soon realized there weren't many job openings for philosophers. So she went
to her favorite thinking tree in the park and philosophized on what she should do with her life.
"What am I good at?”, Rachael thought to herself, "Hmmm, I like to boss people around.” This is
true, for in high school she received the superlative for "Most Likely to be a Bitchy Boss” award.
However, she didn't just want to be a "boss", she wanted "total domination." But to get there
you have to start at the bottom of the ladder. So she thought about what she would be good at.
She then stumbled on a poster at her local butcher shop for the web series, THEM. At that moment,
Rachael knew where her life was going.
Cherri - Costume lady
Age: 26
Cherri is the founder of the popular cosmetics branch, "Cherri's
Cosmetics;" which is big all over Rhode Island. Everything that has happened to
Cherri was based on tons of luck and much seduction. To say that
Cherri didn't put out to climb to the top of the cosmetics business
world would be an understatement. True to her name, Cherri's been
"cherry-less" since the age of thirteen. In fact, it's rumored that
Cherri has slept with over 150 men since! From businessmen, lawyers,
sales representatives, assistants; married or unmarried, everyone has
received a piece of this Cherri Pie. However, Cherri's mentioned in
several interviews (including to her 16,000 twitter followers): "Why
not use what you got to go big...?" Whatever that means? Cherri gets
what she wants, when and how she wants it. You cannot back down to
Cherri or her demands. She is very persuasive. Cherri raked in a large
amount of money last year in sales. However, this year, Cherri has
begun to see a decrease in her business. It may have to do with the
fact that earlier this year, Cherri made a big life change; deciding
to play for the "other team" (If you get what I mean?). OR it could've
been her decision to purchase a giant $200,000 pink "C" to display in
Providence Park. Whatever the reason, Cherri has not yet accepted
defeat and now has joined Moses in order to make a giant comeback by
working costumes for his web series. In any event, the world hasn't
yet seen the last of Cherri…...
Sharon - Actress
Age: Eternally 29
Sharon can't remember a time she didn't want to act, why in school she would read aloud the lunch menu to her home room class every morning, channeling the heartfelt energy of a Natalie Wood (so excited was she whenever they had fried chicken, she'd burst out singing "I feel Chicky" West Side Story-style) much to the nuns' dismay. After so many ruler smacks she decided to leave school and venture to the city that all actors dream about: Bismark, North Dakota. It was here that she had her breakthrough performance as Chichi in "You, you...you my baby!" at the Theatre for Little Wanderers. After years of community, and even small-towny, theater, she moved back to the east coast; and lit up like a star in the distant night when she saw the audition call for Moses' new show on the paper place mat at Old County Buffet. Moses is just like a son to her.....one that she thankfully never had.
Mason Anderson - Actor
Age: Irrelevant when it comes to the ladies
Mason became a part-time actor after realizing he wasn't very good at
full-time much else. However, the reasonably attractive and somewhat
charming middle-aged man discovered he had certain manipulative powers
that would come in handy for acting, not to mention door-to-door
ShamWOW sales, being a WalMart greeter, running for high-level
political office such as sealers of weights and measures, and
evangelical fundraising, all of which Mason failed miserably at,
except the latter, where, following tent-revival meetings, he enjoyed
a certain amount of briefly satisfying prurient success with some of
the more easily influenced, and typically inebriated, female members
of his flock. Mason auditioned for Moses with a hidden agenda that he cannot talk
about nor write about...so his bio ends here.
Poppy MacGuire - Actress
Age: Ahem
Poppy MacGuire is the most famous actress to ever work with Moses. She worked on a project
with him called Forget Her Tomorrow where she played a woman who had to keep reminding
her husband she was married to him because of his inoperable tumor. Back then, Poppy was just some high
school student who thought acting was some hobby, up there with reading Twilight and getting
drunk every Saturday night. However, she eventually took her role seriously (really) and actually decided to
pursue an acting career when she finished with Moses. Even though Moses was convinced that
her dreams of grandeur and fame would come crashing down on her; "She has not a shot in hell,”
he once told someone; he was shocked like everyone else when she attended her first audition and
landed a role on a successful CBA television series called North Dakota Cowboy Police; as
the girlfriend of the lead detective, Thomas Andrews. Poppy is now a B-List Star, but she always
remembers Moses; although she has never admitted it publicly, she writes in her diary how much she
owes him for getting her to where she is today.
Carrie Lions - Assistant to Moses
Age: 28
After graduating with a Communications degree from Pace University in New
York City, Carrie returned to her hometown of Newport, Rhode Island
hoping to find any kind of work. After going on an extensive 3-month
job search, Carrie was only left with a part-time job at Target or a
full-time job at Burger King. Angry by the outcome, especially having
a four-year college degree with a 3.82 average, Carrie could not
accept defeat. She would NEVER utter the words; "Would you like to try
a value meal?". Thus, she took to Craigslist in hopes to find
anything in her field. After spending a month interviewing and
following up on posts, she came to one realization: anyone who posts
on this site is CRAZY. However, Carrie felt hopeful when she saw the
post "Seeking Interested Assistant." Carrie arrived on Moses' set
only to confirm her theory to never resort to Craigslist for a job
better than Burger King. However, through the craziness she's been
engulfed in since, she's stayed with Moses because of its strange
appeal; and hopes to build her resume for future projects in the film
and communications world...and that she never has to say: "Do you
want fries with that?".
Maggie Fey - Camera Woman
Age: 22
Occupation: Student
Currently studying Film/Animation/Video at RISD. Decided to create a
documentary regarding the creative process of a web-series as her
final project. Secretly, Moses' father has been her inspiration to
pursue documentation. Relocated to RI from Sacramento, CA, and doesn't particularly enjoy
the East Coast. The water just isn't as blue. After graduation, her
biggest dream is to make a cross-country documentary as she road trips
back home, capturing one's struggle to survive in a car on only $15 a
day. She also likes sweaters and warm hats.
