Marshall Axani

Segment Producer / Content Creator / Writer

Marshall Axani is an impassioned storyteller, Pulitzer Prize nominated novelist, and two-time Grammy Award winner both for contributing saxophone for the John Cafferty & Beaver Brown Band and Best Spoken word album of 2007 “Punny Man”, which is also being adapted into a Broadway musical starring Sir Jonathan Taylor Thomas. His films prior to AFLE have screened for some of the most prominent world leaders, and even inspired notable discussions at the United Nations. When not writing fictional bios in the third person, Marshall’s focus is trained on finding ways to inspire and empower creators to tell more personal, visionary and profound stories that can stand out on the global cinematic stage, maybe even last the test of time. 

Alain Williams

Writer / Performer

Alain Williams is a comedy writer from Victoria, BC. His influences are stand up comedy, fantasy and science fiction genres, hip hop old and new, and all things classic kung fu. He stutters proudly and he will probably laugh too hard at the things you say. If you ask him to play D&D, he will say yes, as long as he can play a monk. 

Benjamin Murray

Studio Production Assistant / Writer

Benjamin Murray is an old curmudgeon that enjoys quiet nights, good storytelling with Chance The Pupper and Meer The Cat.

Bev Rapley

Writer / Performer

Born and raised in the West Coast Wilderness, Bev is an all-around outdoor lady/ creature who is more at home in the forest than anywhere.  Somewhere between gaming, travelling, cycling, yoga, brewing (and drinking) beer, riding horses and motorcycles, Bev found herself working at AFL living out all her wildest sci-fi / fantasy dreams of becoming a professional nerd. She loves working in a creative environment surrounded by good people, and is always ready with a cringe-worthy pun or Dad joke. Her insatiable thirst for adventure, trying new things, exploring and finding new places has landed her the position of vlogger at AFL. She loves animals and nature, and as a former archaeologist, she has a deep appreciation for history and the occult. She drives like an asshole but has a good heart. There is a little wiggle room in there for food, friends, family and comedy. 

Chelsea Mainwaring

Props Fabricator

I would like to think that I am a true coddiwompler at heart. 

Inspiration strikes. I may not know which direction to head, but by putting one curious toe out the porthole and just committing to sail into uncharted waters has been the most rewarding way that I find my path of calling. The winds change often, but arts and the environment is where my heart truly sings. After studying as a jeweller amidst the ruggedly beautiful mountains of kootenays, I longed to create more than just jewellery. I put my strange imagination at work and the possibilities were endless. 

It was only a matter of time before I ended up in the film Industry; Driven, confused, Jack of all arts, passionate, transient, with a touch of artistic madness. 

While traveling New Zealand, inspiration was in everything; every gnarled root, sulphurous mud belch, cavernous glaciers and hobbit holes; and like Bilbo I coddiwompled my way in to my first big adventure. My first film gig. 

I haven’t (for the most part) looked back. 

I can’t begin to count how many treacherous swamps, seemingly endless swathes of surprisingly stingy stinging nettles, trolls, wolves, and thick gnarly thorn brambles have barricaded my missions; yet I am able to see the magic in mystery and explore my passion without borders. I will continue down the road of creating all kinds of art, and uncovering a spark in curious places I would not have otherwise found.

Kevin Phung

Set Dresser

“And within these four corners, standing five foot ten but slouching five foot eight, easily caught off guard, making it up as he goes, some what professional tinkerer, even more professional graphic designer, often in his imagination, capable of _____ while _____, takes a lot of photos, often doing something random, wondering how many more words until he gets to 75 words, he also can’t smell! And here he is! Introducing Not Dog Kev! Let’s get weird!” 

Tim Rutherford

Lead Dresser

Tim is the kind of guy who would wear a black and gold space man outfit he made himself to get his company photo taken, and that’s exactly why we like him so much. Tim also owns a very pretty snake.
