Hailing from Florida, Nathan Sherrer is based in Brooklyn and graduated from The King’s College in 2014 with a Bachelor’s degree in Media, Culture, and the Arts.  Recent Kinetic Studios productions include a new campaign for the NYC Department of Health plus a film for the Jewish Community Relations Council.

Angie Brayman

EDITOR

Angie Brayman is an award-winning creative editor hailing from metro Detroit. A graduate of the Specs Howard School of Broadcast & Media Arts, she’s passionate about social issues, comedy and television (not necessarily all at once) and collaborates on as many of those projects as she can. A few of her favorites have been editing multiple webisodes for ADAPT Community Network, cutting the featurette for the film “A Girl Like Her” airing on Netflix and the online short film documenting the rise of the Downtown Youth Boxing Gym in Detroit.

When she’s not editing, Angie can be found onstage as an improviser with ComedySportz and on the ice as a player and board member with one of the country’s largest women’s hockey leagues. Her claim to fame is having Jimmy Fallon read her name along with her submission during a “Screengrabs” segment on The Tonight Show.
