[Logan Shimberg]
[he/him]
Logan is a NYC-based writer, filmmaker, and performer from Washington, DC.
The son of a mixed-media artist and a film-loving father, his whole life to now has been a pursuit of expression, both real and imagined. Whether majoring in Anthropology at Washington University in St. Louis, working on a sheep farm in New Zealand, or living and working on an Alaskan fishing boat, he's always seeking new ways to see the world that challenge him and his expectations. It's in the arts where he has found the most profound means of doing so.
His work spans a range of genres and tones, but all roads lead to an appreciation of life's absurdities. Human life contradicts itself, desires to be seen, and marvels at our world’s interconnections. The surreal reveals truths in the untrue, and you can find humor anywhere you look. But in the end, if an audience feels the full range of emotions and feels any of them deeply, he's succeeded.

[Malalchi Parsons]
[he/him]
As a filmmaker, production designer, performance artist, and curator, Malachi Parsons works within cross-cultural narratives. Inspired by folklore, ritual, and cultural research, his work takes shape in independent films, photographs, community events, and marketing strategies. He leverages strong analytical skills, project management experience, and adaptability to provide creative avenues that showcase these narratives. Malachi Parsons builds bridges between diverse cultural stories, engaging audiences through his multidisciplinary approach.
Raised in a vibrant Caribbean Black church in East Flatbush, Brooklyn, Malachi's parents' involvement in ministry encouraged him to volunteer with the church media team. Here, he gained an intimate perspective on the powerful intersection of gesture and testimony. Years of observing church funeral services, where grief and loss transformed into worship through liturgical performances, revealed a precious paradox: in moments of tragedy, when tears filled their eyes, they responded with joyful praise, clapping, stomping, raising hands, and bowing heads.
He served as a production assistant for Marsha Ginsberg, an award-winning visual artist and stage designer, while studying at NYU Abu Dhabi and at Prop Haus, a New York-based prop rental company owned by prop stylist Martha Bernabe.
Ultimately, his work is informed by testimony. While the oral history and archives of his Gullah Geechee heritage have been weakened by displacement, he seeks to define his own identity and create new imagined understandings of his Blackness by telling the untold testimonies of marginalized communities. Celebrating untold stories isn't just an act of protest, it's a resurgence of one's connection to their elders. He is committed to utilizing film and performance art as a means of ancestral veneration, creating a space for celebration through hybrid, narrative, experimental filmmaking, production design, and documentary solo-ensemble performance.
Malachi is producing his debut feature documentary Sundowning, and looking for work as a production designer, director
