FILM CREW:
BEYOND MIDNIGHT: The Grand Traverse
ANDREW KASTNING
Producer
Andrew was very fortunate to grow up in the mountain town of Crested Butte, CO. This community and environment would greatly shape his personality and sense of adventure. From skiing to biking and fishing, Andrew enjoys all non-motorized outdoor pursuits. His skiing took him far away to the east coast where he competed on the University of Vermont Ski team for four years. After which he spent a summer fighting forest fires, a year and a half in Austin, TX, working on major film and TV productions, and then onto Reno, NV where he became a ski coach at the Univerisity of Nevada Reno. After the world premiere of "Beyond Midnight: The Grand Traverse", Andrew will move once more. This time he travels to Bozeman, MT to help coach the MSU ski team and further his academic studies. He hopes you too, can get behind the mission of Friends of Friends Productions by enjoying the raw beauty of nature and by bringing the people who put themselves out in nature's elements to the big screen...

PHIL SPINNER
Producer/Cameraman
Finding himself at an early age fairly unskilled at coloring within the lines, Phil found his most effective means of conveying his perspective of the world in the technology of the film camera. Progressing with still photography for most of his younger life, he was introduced to film production on the set of a cheesy zombie horror flick. Realizing that zombies were not his cup of tea, yet finding a love for motion picture creation, Phil jumped headlong into documentary filmmaking producing his first documentary that winter on the topic of tourism and sustainable development in Thailand. Phil has since worked on multiple films with many different crews
