Roddy Piper was born Roderick George Toombs on April 17, 1954 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. He was a pro wrestler from 1973-1987 in the NWA, Pacific Northwest, California. He was a longtime mainstay in the WWF, and was one of the biggest "bad guys" in the WWF during the early '80s, before becoming a fan favorite in the late '80s. He became infamous for his mouth as much as his skills in the ring. He hosted Pipers Pit, which saluted the bad guys of professional wrestling, the most famous of which involved him smashing Jimmy Superfly Snuka over the head with a coconut. He was wrestling's most popular villain because of his feud with Hulk Hogan that culminated at Wrestlemania I. He went into semi-retirement after Wrestlemania III, when he beat and shaved the late Adrian Adonis.

He continued to wrestle into the '90s, but spent much of his time doing color commentary for WWF TV. In January 1992, he won the WWF Intercontinental Title from "The Mountie", the only title he would ever hold in his storied WWF career. After losing the title three months later, he left the WWF, and only made the occasional appearance in the ring over the next few years. In 1995, he had a stint as the WWF's interim president. He later resurfaced in WCW during the late '90s to continue his feud with "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, until the company's demise in 2001.

A former actor, Canadian-born Burt Metcalfe was employed as a casting director for Universal Television when he was recruited by Gene Reynolds. His job was to assemble the cast for the pilot episode of M*A*S*H (1972). To sweeten the deal, he was given the title of associate producer. Metcalfe accepted the challenge and went on to play an integral part in putting together that gifted ensemble of actors, as well as in determining the overall tone of the series. Larry Gelbart, Reynolds and Metcalfe went to considerable lengths to undertake background research on both medical and military aspects. This was done via phone interviews with literally hundreds of doctors, some of whom had served in Korea and were able to provide a valuable insight. Ultimately, the intention was to make a social statement within the framework of a black comedy: "We've capitalized more, over the years, on that mix of comedy and drama.... to a very worthwhile effect. We are able to weave grim, somber threads into funny things, concurrently". After Reynolds moved on to Lou Grant (1977), Metcalfe rose to executive producer and remained with M*A*S*H for the remainder of its entire run, in addition to directing thirty-one episodes of the hit series. In due course, he received thirteen (shared) Prime Time Emmy Award nominations. Metcalfe later proceeded to work as executive producer and director on the sequel AfterMASH (1983). In 1986, he joined the now-defunct MTM Enterprises in the same capacity.

Metcalfe moved to Los Angeles from Montreal in 1949. He received a degree in theatre studies from UCLA in 1949 and made his screen acting debut in Mark Robson's The Bridges at Toko-Ri (1954). Following military service in the U.S. Navy from 1956 to 1957, Metcalfe had several small roles on television, notably as one of the frightened residents in the The Monsters Are Due on Maple Street (1960). He appeared in recurring roles as a newlywed (son-in-law to Leon Ames and Ruth Warrick) in Father of the Bride (1961) and as an Air Force Colonel in 12 O'Clock High (1964). In 1965, he joined Screen Gems as a casting director and then executive assistant.

Louise Weard is a filmmaker with a degree in Film Semiotics. Hailing from Western Canada, she cut her teeth working as the cinematographer for FX legend Ryan Nicholson and emerged as an exciting new voice in underground horror with her breakout body-horror featurette Computer Hearts. Along with her filmmaking partner Dionne Copland, Louise established CyberCraft Video in 2016 and produced the short films Inferno and Haxx Deadroom, as well as the micro-budget queer slasher film Cuties. After film school she produced Dionne Copland's feature-length debut, the cabin-in-the-woods creature-feature Cold Wind Blowing, which was released in 2022.

She has been obsessed with deeply personal (and perverse) movies that push the envelope for as long as she can remember, which culminated in her winning a Most Fearless Performance Award in 2015 for her short film S.I.D.S. in which she played herself as a transsexual woman seeking a back alley surgery. Nearly a decade after completing her debut film, Computer Hearts, it was rediscovered as a significant work of transgender horror cinema and screened at The Music Box in Chicago, IL during their Music Box of Horrors event in October 2022.

Her film theory writing encompasses work on the on-screen semiotics of the Marquis de Sade and a comprehensive history of films featuring phallic genital trauma, the latter of which can be found in the book Divergent Terror: The Crossroads of Queerness and Horror. In September 2022, she co-hosted the 100 Best Kills event at Fantastic Fest in a night dedicated to castration scenes in film.

For Louise, cinema is about illuminating the most secretive and problematic parts of the self and using storytelling to connect with other freaks and outcasts so that nobody has to feel alone. Her obsessions include ritual Magick, Gnosticism, and UFOs, and when she's not making movies you'll find her championing unsung visionary filmmakers through her film writing and her roles at various film festivals. She has also directed some fierce music videos for musical artists Ravine Angel and Lauren Bousfield, and while filming one she may have "accidentally" performed a ritual that made her trans.

Vernon Gray grew up in Elk Point, Alta., as Vernon Raham-Gray. "Ever since I can remember, I've wanted to be an actor," said Gray in a 1953 interview, but his family was dead set against his bid for a show-business career. Chief opponents were his father, Arthur Raham, a railway agent in Elk Point, and three engineering brothers who wanted him to be an engineer. But Gray had been acting since high school days and, while working with an automobile firm in Windsor, Ont., he had acted for the Windsor Theatre Guild. He later joined the Ottawa Repertory Company.

While visiting Canada to search for backgrounds for the movie "Campbell's Kingdom," British film producer Betty Box first spotted Gray in a local television program in Fort William, Ontario. She likely encouraged Gray to go to Britain because he was working there in the early 1950s. He appeared on the West End stage as "Duke" in the Broadway hit, "Stalag 17," which had a short run, and with a number of provincial theatre companies. It was his role in "Death of a Salesman," at the Repertory Theatre in Windsor, Berkshire that got him a leading part in in a television play that again drew the attention of Box who hired him in her film "A Day to Remember," (1953). In this movie, he played the role of Marvin, a corporal in the United States Army. Box felt that Gray had leading man potential, saying "At last, a new Man for British pictures." ( Gray subsequently appeared in "To Paris with Love" (1954) and "The Gold Express" (1955), his first and only staring movie role.

Shayne's first exposure to film was when his mother took him to the theatre to see George Lucas's A New Hope. American cinema of the 1980s was a big part of his formative years. He has sticky memories of Joe Dantes's Gremlins, Spielberg's Indiana Jones and E.T., Richard Donner's Goonies, Robert Zemeckis's Back to the Future, James Cameron's Terminator, Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, and Rob Reiner's Stand by Me.

He spent much of his childhood drawing, writing, playing, and creating with a keen curiosity for technology. In adulthood, Shayne was diagnosed as neurodivergent (ADHD). Traditional learning methodologies in his youth and early post-secondary years challenged him academically and shaped the creative person he is today. He is a lifelong learner who has studied art, film, acting, writing, business, humanities and technical vocations in various fields.

Film study introduced Shayne to high art cinema canon, many of which shaped his filmmaking journey, like Federico Fellini's 8 and 1/2, Vittorio De Sica's The Bicycle Thief, and Jean Luc Godard's Breathless. Of course, Orson Welles's Citizen Kane, but he prefers Welles's The Lady from Shanghai. Hollywood low-brow movies simultaneously caught his attention; of note is the career and influence of Roger Corman, Tony Scott's True Romance, Quentin Tarantino's Pulp Fiction, and Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas. Tom Tykwer's Run Lola Run, David Lynch's Twin Peaks, Eraserhead, Robert Zemeckis's Forest Gum, Paul Haggis's Crash, Clint Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby, Richard Linklater's Dazed and Confused, Darren Aronofsky's The Wrestler, and Wes Anderson's Bottle Rocket belong somewhere on the list, along with other films that would make this list longer than it already is.

He is an award-winning filmmaker and artist with over twenty-five years of experience in film, television, and the professional art scene. He has worked in nearly every position on a film crew, including director, producer, cinematographer, and editor, with numerous roles as a voice artist and actor performing in front of the camera. He is a National Screen Institute (NSI) alumnus, a Director member of the Directors Guild of Canada (DGC) and an MFA Writing candidate at the University of Saskatchewan.

Shayne's professional journey into cinema began with a tiny-budget science fiction film that built his skills and established his reputation as a multi-skilled filmmaker, opening doors in the film industry. He has since worked on productions for Disney, CTV, Showcase, SCN, TSN, Bell Media, and several international distributors.

His craft spans diverse genres, from sci-fi, comedy, and drama to documentaries, commercials, and experimental films. His experiences include being a media producer for the University of Saskatchewan, working with the National Film Board of Canada (NFB), and directing works on Hulu, Amazon, APTN, and CBC. He has won awards and played in theatres and art galleries such as Remai Modern.

Shayne's commitment to lifelong learning appears through mentorship and education as both student and teacher. He has guided over 200 short film productions from development to distribution, sharing his expertise with diverse individuals, from aspiring youth to seniors. His teaching filmmaking curriculum at post-secondary institutions has shaped the next generation of filmmakers. The Canadian Department of National Defense recognizes him as an expert in video production, a testament to his balance of technical skill and art practice in filmmaking.

Shayne's passion and dedication to advancing cinema includes his role in creating the 'Directors Film and Television Competency Chart' for the Cultural Human Resources Council (CHRC). This chart, a national standard for training television directors, is a testament to his leadership and innovation in the industry. Shayne has shared his time as a juror for film festivals, including the Yorkton Film Festival (YFF), the Directors Guild (DGC) Awards, and the Saskatchewan International Film Festival (SIFF).

Shaynes' career continues to evolve. Today, he continues to learn, teach, write, collaborate, and make art. He is particularly interested in long-form feature film stories that blend fantasy and science fiction with roots in reality and history from the working-class perspective.
